|  | * - Variable | 
|  | - Description | 
|  | * - ``TORCH_FORCE_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD`` | 
|  | - If set to [``1``, ``y``, ``yes``, ``true``], the torch.load will use ``weight_only=True``. For more documentation on this, see :func:`torch.load`. | 
|  | * - ``TORCH_AUTOGRAD_SHUTDOWN_WAIT_LIMIT`` | 
|  | - Under some conditions, autograd threads can hang on shutdown, therefore we do not wait for them to shutdown indefinitely but rely on timeout that is default set to ``10`` seconds. This environment variable can be used to set the timeout in seconds. |
