What is PyTorch?
PyTorch is an open source software library that allows developers to piece together code to create an AI “brain” that can learn to identify patterns in data. In more technical terms, PyTorch lets developers use modular layers to build and train complex neural networks for advanced machine learning.
Why use PyTorch?
PyTorch has risen in popularity because it prioritizes developer experience and makes it easy to change model structure in real time. Users interact with it using Python as the programming language on the front end. PyTorch uses C++ as the programming language (and CUDA when an NVIDIA graphic processing unit is available) to run heavy calculations on the backend. This hybrid approach makes for a simple user interface paired with maximum computational power.
PyTorch is open source under the PyTorch Foundation, which is part of the Linux® Foundation. This open governance means it’s free to use, consistently being improved upon by the open source community, and fully auditable. Developers can inspect the source code and verify how the framework is handling data.
Beyond its open source roots, PyTorch’s underlying architecture is designed for flexibility, scalability, and accessibility for every user across different hardware platforms or cloud providers.
