What is PyTorch?
PyTorch is a Python package that provides two high-level features: NumPy-like tensor computation with strong GPU acceleration, and deep neural networks built on a tape-based automatic differentiation system. TorchScript lets you switch between eager mode and graph mode, and TorchServe speeds up production deployment. The torch.distributed backend supports scalable distributed training in research and production environments. It is well supported on major cloud platforms and has a rich ecosystem of tools and libraries that help with computer vision, NLP, and more.
- GPU-accelerated tensor computation
- Tape-based automatic differentiation (autograd) neural networks
- Switching between eager and graph modes with TorchScript, production deployment with TorchServe
- Distributed training with torch.distributed
- Support on major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
- Installation by compute platform, such as CUDA, ROCm, and CPU
- Ecosystem libraries such as Captum, PyTorch Geometric, and skorch
Who uses PyTorch and for what
- Experimenting with new algorithms in deep learning research (Stanford case)
- Reducing and scaling inference costs (Amazon Advertising case)
- NLP and multitask learning (Salesforce case)
