Recommended action: Reduce batch size (e.g. model.encode(batch_size=...)), use fp16/bf16 or quantized weights, free other GPU processes; when reserved-but-unallocated is large set PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True before the process starts.
Option: Smaller batches + expandable segments [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Fragmentation or peak spikes
Steps:
1. export PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True
2. lower batch_size / max sequence length
Expected: Allocation succeeds
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
