PyTorch Cleans Up Its Code to Keep AI Running Smoothly

A tiny cleanup that keeps the AI you use fast and reliable.

Deep Dive

PyTorch has dropped unused `#include` statements in `torch/csrc` and `caffe2/serialize`. The cleanup was flagged by clang-tidy's `misc-include-cleaner` check, which isn't enabled by the repo's `.clang-tidy`/lintrunner config. This change was split out from a larger PR and approved by albanD.

Key Points
  • PyTorch removed unused code instructions to make itself more efficient.
  • The cleanup was spotted by an automated tool called clang-tidy.
  • This is a developer-focused change with no immediate user-facing effects.

Why It Matters

Small cleanups keep AI foundations strong, meaning faster, cheaper, and more reliable AI for everyone.
