 There are various other XLA flags users can set to improve performance. For a detailed explanation of these flags, please refer to the [GPU performance](./rosetta/docs/GPU_performance.md) doc. XLA flags can also be tuned per workload. For example, each script includes a directory [xla_flags](./rosetta/rosetta/projects/maxtext/xla_flags).
 
 For a list of previously used XLA flags that are no longer needed, please also refer to the [GPU performance](./rosetta/docs/GPU_performance.md#previously-used-xla-flags) page.
