Koila is a lightweight Python library designed to help developers avoid memory errors when training deep learning models with PyTorch. The library introduces a lazy evaluation mechanism that delays computation until it is actually required, allowing the framework to better estimate the memory requirements of a model before execution. By building a computational graph first and executing operations only when necessary, koila reduces the risk of running out of GPU memory during the forward pass of neural network training. This approach enables developers to experiment with larger batch sizes and more complex architectures while maintaining stable training behavior. The system acts as a thin wrapper around PyTorch tensors and operations, meaning that it integrates easily into existing PyTorch code without requiring major changes to model implementations. It is particularly useful in environments where GPU resources are limited or where models frequently encounter CUDA memory errors.
