PyTorch

A popular toolkit researchers and programmers use to build and train AI models in Python.

What it does

PyTorch is a Python library for building neural networks, the layered math systems behind most modern AI. It handles the heavy number-crunching and can use graphics cards (GPUs) to make it much faster.

Its makers say it is designed to feel natural to Python users and to let researchers change how a model behaves on the fly, which makes experimenting easier.

It is mainly used as a research platform for deep learning and as a faster, GPU-powered alternative to everyday math libraries.

Who it's for

AI researchers, students and programmers who build or train their own models.
