The PyTorch Foundation
- mkaic 4y agoThis is a really big announcement. Kudos to Meta. I use PyTorch daily at work and am very happy with both its current state and where it appears to be headed. PyTorch makes deep learning accessible, understandable, and portable, and I love it.
- shrisukhani 4y agoGreat move from Meta and the PyTorch team. Curious to see if Alphabet will follow suit with TF and Jax :)
- jxy 4y agoThere's openxla, https://github.com/openxla https://github.com/openxla I doubt anybody outside of google is in it, though.
- polygamous_bat 4y agoLooking at the Pytorch Foundation page [1] and also in the article, I see that the following: > The PyTorch Foundation will boast a wide-ranging governing board composed of representatives from AMD, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Meta, Microsoft Azure, and Nvidia, with the intention to expand further over time. As an academic myself who does research on PyTorch, I wonder if there should have been more academics involved in the guidance or governance of PyTorch, especially given how much the future of machine learning may depend on choices made by such frameworks. Maybe it is unfounded, but I fear that over-optimizing for large industry uses and forgetting what it is like to run a single network training on your desktop GPU might be detrimental to PyTorch and machine learning as a whole.

- JohnFen 4y agoThey also described that crowd as "diverse", when it's the exact opposite of that. This smells of nothing more than Facebook wanting to make people think PyTorch isn't a Facebook thing.
- yazzku 4y agoWhat do you mean it's not diverse? It's all the tech bros from Silicon Valley. I bet there are women too.
