Summary

Fix for #3034

The 100 tries to initialize the model currently tries to evaluate log_prob without gradients and then the next block of code tries to benchmark the gradients. This was failing.

Instead in this pull we try the 100 tries evaluating gradients as well (since we'll need them eventually).
