I am not sure what type Zygote wants to use to represent Dict.
accum isn't defined for Dict AFAICT.
So NamedTuple seemed reasonable.

the Dict story is not consistent at the moment and there are many missing features

I guess generally the returned gradient should be a dictionary, but for dicts with symbol keys maybe a namedtuple is good enough for the time being

Thanks for the follow up!

What do you mean?
You mean use if for both 1.6 and pre-1.6?

The CUDA failures seem related to CUDA.jl v3.4 -- We should get some kind of fix in Flux/ Zygote or CUDA since |

CI failures are unrelated. |

@lsindoni ran into this.
This problem occurs for Dict and NamedTuples with a error about the methods of
Base.setindex.The
Dictin thepairspullback in this case ends up containingSymbols notIntegers.So we branch to support that.
(unfortunately it is a
Dict{Any,Any}so we can't branch earlier, and so it is dynamic dispatch).The chain to the rule for
pairsis enough to make NamedTuple's work,If we also want to support Dicts, we need the rule for
mergeas wellI am surprised noone has run into this before.
