 ## 2024-05-18 - Fast row-wise Euclidean norm in pure NumPy
 **Learning:** In performance-critical paths, computing the batch norm of a 2D array via `np.linalg.norm(arr, axis=1)` is relatively slow. Using `np.sqrt(np.einsum('ij,ij->i', arr, arr))` is significantly faster (~4x speedup on a laptop CPU for typical batch sizes). If `keepdims=True` behavior is needed, appending `[:, np.newaxis]` matches the original shape seamlessly.
 **Action:** Always prefer `np.sqrt(np.einsum('ij,ij->i', arr, arr))` over `np.linalg.norm(arr, axis=1)` when computing row-wise vector norms in NumPy to eliminate dispatch overhead and improve execution speed.
+## 2023-11-20 - Replace `(X ** 2).sum()` with `np.einsum` for memory efficiency
+**Learning:** In performance-critical NumPy operations, replacing row-wise squared Euclidean norm calculations like `(X ** 2).sum(axis=1)` or `(X * X).sum(axis=1)` with `np.einsum('ij,ij->i', X, X)` prevents large intermediate array allocations and delivers a ~3x execution speedup.
+**Action:** When calculating row-wise Euclidean norms along specific axes, consistently use `np.einsum` in hot loops. For axes requiring dimension retention, use `[:, None]` to emulate `keepdims=True`.
