arXiv:2601.13994v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Differentiable sparse linear algebra is foundational for scientific machine learning, yet PyTorch lacks a unified library for it: torch.sparse provides only low-level kernels and a non-differentiable, CPU-only spsolve, and torch.linalg is dense-only. We present torch-sla, an open-source library that fills this gap. It exposes a single autograd-aware API for direct, iterative, nonlinear, and eigenvalue solvers across five interchangeable backends -- SciPy and Eigen on CPU, cuDSS, CuPy, and a PyTorch-native iterative solver on GPU -- with
