Thanks for the quick reply. GradScaler can be used on its own but because you are modifying amp recipe, I would suggest to use torch.amp.GradScaler as it's also mentioned in the code - https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/main/torch/cuda/amp/grad_scaler.py#L12
Also, if you run the recipe, you will notice the warning message suggesting to use torch.amp.GradScaler
