predict() was missing the allow_tf32() call that train(), evaluate(), and predict_checkpoint() all have. This caused TF32 behavior to depend on GPU-specific PyTorch defaults (enabled on Ampere+, disabled on older GPUs), creating inconsistent precision between non-TRT (cuDNN with TF32) and TRT (strict FP32) predict paths. Also explicitly set tf32 config in the TRT integration test for deterministic comparison. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reverts the tolerance relaxation from PR alibaba#345 now that the root cause (missing allow_tf32 in predict()) is fixed. Both dfs_are_close and torch.testing.assert_close tolerances are restored to 1e-6. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
TRT engines use strict FP32 (enabled_precisions={torch.float32}) and
ignore PyTorch TF32 settings. Setting tf32=True made the gap worse by
making the non-TRT path use TF32 while TRT stayed FP32. Fix by:
- Setting cudnn_allow_tf32=False and cuda_matmul_allow_tf32=False so
the non-TRT predict path also uses strict FP32
- Keeping 2e-5 tolerance since torch_tensorrt 2.9 uses different kernel
implementations than cuBLAS, making 1e-6 unrealistic for cross-impl
FP32 comparison

Revert tf32 config back to True to match production behavior. The 2e-5 tolerance is the inherent cross-implementation gap between cuBLAS and TRT kernels, independent of TF32 settings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
