It is clear that is pasing the dict of tensor memory will leak but list of tensor will not.

I used dict of tensor in my model training, and I found the training faied multiple times all since of memory leak. And I tried to used Tensordict(https://pytorch.org/rl/tensordict/), but it cannot contains the string. I need string during my datapipes passing (str to tensor encode in one of datapipes).

[andrew-bydlon]

I'm also using dictionaries and see a memory leak. I'm highlighting a different issue but I'm seeing a small increase in usage over time as well:

#1185

[qmpzzpmq]

@andrew-bydlon I got a temp method to fix the issue. I split my original dict as two dict, one only contains the tensor another without tensor.

[sakimarquis]

Same problem with python dict and tensordict.

same!
