Fix RuntimeError
in PyTorch
✅ Solution
RuntimeError in PyTorch often arises from mismatched data types in operations, such as attempting to perform matrix multiplication between a float16 tensor and a float32 tensor. Resolve this by explicitly casting the tensors to a common data type before the operation using `.to(dtype)`, ensuring both operands share the same type (e.g., `tensor1.to(torch.float32) @ tensor2.to(torch.float32)`). This ensures type compatibility during computation, preventing the error.
