PyTorch
PyTorch Foundation (Linux Foundation)PyTorch is a Python library for tensor computation with strong GPU acceleration and deep neural networks built on a tape-based autograd system. Originally developed at Meta, it is now governed by the PyTorch Foundation under the Linux Foundation. It is one of the two dominant deep learning frameworks and underpins most modern research and production model training.
