One Year of PyTorch Foundation

It’s been one year since we announced the formation of the PyTorch Foundation! 🎉

In its inaugural year, the PyTorch Foundation made a significant impact by launching PyTorch 2.0, growing contributors and adding new member companies. We’re grateful to our founding members for their support to move the foundation forward.

A few milestones in the past year include:

💻 Over 600,000 repositories on GitHub
✅ 60% of AI implementations choosing PyTorch
📈 More than 20% year over year growth in new repositories
🤝 Over 12,000 commits since last year

And a look at what the foundation has been up to this past year:

PyTorch project timeline

We look forward to growing our community for the years to come through supporting our contributors, democratizing the AI field, and creating new innovations.

We invite you to join us at this year’s PyTorch Conference on October 16-17 in San Francisco. Conference registration is filling up quickly, so take advantage of your chance to be part of this exciting event.

Join us to stay informed about the latest announcements and have the opportunity to connect with both the founding members and new additions to the PyTorch community.

With thanks and gratitude,
The PyTorch Foundation Team

PyMC Open Source Development

In this episode of Open Source Directions, we were joined by Thomas Wiecki once again who talked about the work being done with PyMC. PyMC3 is a Python package for Bayesian statistical modeling and Probabilistic Machine Learning focusing on advanced Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI) algorithms. Its flexibility and extensibility make it applicable to a large suite of problems.

Open Source Databases

We had a very fun and engaging chat with Matt Yonkovit who is the Chief Experience Officer at Percona, a service provider for open source databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and RocksDB. Matt has worked as a database architect for 10 years before transitioning into consulting roles at both MySQL and Sun Microsystems. In total, he’s been working with databases and open source for nearly 25 years.
