lucid.creation

Tensor construction, and the seeding of the default generator.

Thirty entry points: conversion (tensor, as_tensor, from_numpy), filled and *_like constructors, the range builders arange / linspace, the sampling family, the generator controls (seed, get_rng_state / set_rng_state, initial_seed, randperm) and DLPack exchange.

Every constructor takes device=, and passing it is what keeps a pipeline on one device: a helper built without it lands on the CPU and forces a round trip the moment it meets Metal data.

CPU and Metal draw from separate generators, so one seed does not reproduce one stream across both — comparing devices means comparing deterministic ops, or eval() for anything stochastic.

Functions

fntensor→ Tensor

Construct a new Tensor from Python data, a NumPy array, or another Tensor.

fnas_tensor→ Tensor

Convert data to a tensor, avoiding a copy when the source already matches.

fnfrom_numpy→ Tensor

Create a CPU tensor from a NumPy ndarray with shared storage.

fnzeros→ Tensor

Return a tensor filled with the additive identity element, zero.

fnones→ Tensor

Return a tensor filled with the multiplicative identity element, one.

fnempty→ Tensor

Return a tensor whose elements are uninitialised (undefined memory).

fnfull→ Tensor

Return a tensor filled with a constant scalar value.

fneye→ Tensor

Return a 2-D matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

fnarange→ Tensor

Return a 1-D tensor of evenly spaced values over a half-open interval.

fnlinspace→ Tensor

Return a 1-D tensor of steps equally spaced values over a closed interval.

fnzeros_like→ Tensor
