while the other layers are in gpu mode.

   You can try the `ctx2group` option during simple_bind(). For example, if you 
want to specify a layer on cpu among the gpu layers,
   ```
   a = mx.sym.var("a")
   b = mx.sym.var("b")
   with mx.AttrScope(ctx_group="cpu"):
       c = mx.sym.sample_negative_binomial(a,b) # runs on cpu
   d = mx.sym.dot(a, c) # runs on gpu
   
   executor = d.simple_bind(ctx=mx.gpu(), a=(10,), b=(10,), group2ctx={"cpu": 
mx.cpu()})
   ```
   allows `sample_negative_binomial` to be on cpu while the rest on gpu. 
   
   Caveat: there's a known bug for elemwise_add with group2ctx
