Currently it take a huge amount of time to compile the model, we should add some precompile statements.

Research direction
Investigate the current model compilation time in Transformers.jl to identify the main bottlenecks. Look at other Julia packages that use precompile directives (e.g., in Base or other ML libraries) for examples. Consider adding `precompile` statements for frequently called functions in the forward pass. Since the issue has no comments, you may open a discussion to propose the changes before implementing.
