⚡️ Speed up function repeat_kv by 7%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for repeat_kv in src/transformers/models/hunyuan_v1_dense/modeling_hunyuan_v1_dense.py

⏱️ Runtime : 3.59 milliseconds → 3.34 milliseconds (best of 121 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized version replaces the tensor slicing operation hidden_states[:, :, None, :, :] with hidden_states.unsqueeze(2) and splits the expand operation into separate steps.

Key optimizations:

1. Replaced slicing with unsqueeze: The original code uses [:, :, None, :, :] slicing to add a dimension, which requires PyTorch to compute new strides and memory layout. The optimized version uses unsqueeze(2), which is a more direct operation that PyTorch can optimize better internally.

2. Separated expand from the indexing chain: Instead of chaining the slicing and expand operations in one line, the optimized version performs unsqueeze first, then expand in a separate step. This allows PyTorch's memory layout optimizer to handle each operation more efficiently.

Why this is faster:

• unsqueeze() is a more optimized tensor view operation compared to slice-based dimension insertion
• The separated operations allow PyTorch to better optimize memory stride calculations
• The line profiler shows the tensor expansion step (lines 36-37 in optimized) takes ~667μs total vs ~844μs in the original slicing approach

Performance characteristics:
The optimization shows consistent 7-44% speedups across test cases, with particularly strong gains for:

• Edge cases with zero dimensions (20-44% faster)
• Small to medium tensor operations (10-20% faster)
• Operations with larger n_rep values (13-15% faster)

The optimization maintains identical functionality while leveraging PyTorch's internal optimizations for tensor view operations.
