PyTorch 2.0 Brings New Fire To Open-Source Machine Learning
VentureBeat, March 15th, 2023
After months in preview, PyTorch 2.0 has been made generally available by the PyTorch Foundation.
The open source PyTorch project is among the most widely used technologies for machine learning (ML) training. Originally started by Facebook (now Meta), PyTorch 1.0 came out in 2018 and benefitted from years of incremental improvements.
In September 2022, the PyTorch Foundation was created in a bid to enable more open governance and encourage more collaboration and contributions. The effort that has paid dividends, with the beta of PyTorch 2.0 going into preview in December 2022. PyTorch 2.0 benefits from 428 different contributors that provided new code and capabilities to the open source effort.
