Precision Plugins
*****************
You can also customize and pass your own Precision Plugin by subclassing the :class:`~pytorch_lightning.plugins.precision.precision_plugin.PrecisionPlugin` class.
- Perform pre and post backward/optimizer step operations such as scaling gradients.
- Provide context managers for forward, training_step, etc.
