Facebook Inc. today revealed that it’s going all-in on PyTorch as its default artificial intelligence framework.
The company said that by migrating all of its AI systems to PyTorch, it will be able to innovate much more quickly while ensuring a more optimal experience for all of its users.
PyTorch is an open-source machine learning library that’s based on the Torch library. It was created by Facebook’s AI Research unit, and it’s used to power a wide range of AI applications already, such as computer vision and natural language processing models. Examples of PyTorch AI models include the personalization of user’s feeds and stories on Instagram, and those that identify and delete hate speech on Facebook.
