Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Examine existing implementation of similar operations (e.g., torch.randn, torch.add) in the lightning thunder codebase. Understand the pattern for adding a new operation: define the operation, register it, implement the computation (likely via decomposition into existing primitives), and add tests. Look at the test files for similar ops to guide test structure.
