x1 = torch.tensor(1.0)
x2 = torch.tensor(2.0)

L1 = theta*x1
L2 = theta*x2

Why do we need to use torch.no_grad() in the test phase?

Why do we need to zero out the gradients in the training phase after each update?

model = SimpleModel()
criterion = nn.MSELoss()
optimizer = optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=0.01)

# Dummy data
inputs = torch.randn((100, 10))
targets = torch.randn((100, 1))

# Training loop
for epoch in range(100):
    # Forward pass
    outputs = model(inputs)
    
    # Compute the loss
    loss = criterion(outputs, targets)
    
    # Zero the gradients
    optimizer.zero_grad()
    
    # Backward pass
    loss.backward()
    
    # Update the weights
    optimizer.step()

    # Print the loss every 10 epochs
    if epoch % 10 == 0:
        print(f'Epoch {epoch}, Loss: {loss.item()}')
