# Nx.LinAlg (Torchx)
On Apple MPS (`:mps`), LU, Eigh, Solve, Determinant and Cholesky fall back to
Nx (slower). QR, SVD and triangular solve run on the CPU and copy the results
back.
## `Nx.LinAlg.solve/2`
Singular matrices raise `ArgumentError` with `"can't solve for singular matrix"`.
## `Nx.LinAlg.qr/2`
`:eps` is ignored.
## `Nx.LinAlg.eigh/2`
`:max_iter` and `:eps` are ignored, except on MPS where Nx's implementation is
used.
## `Nx.LinAlg.svd/2`
Complex inputs raise. `:max_iter` is ignored.
## `Nx.LinAlg.triangular_solve/3`
`left_side: false` raises. Singular matrices raise the same error as `solve/2`.
