Tensors and Dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration
About Pytorch
From the project's README at github.com/pytorch/pytorch. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
PyTorch is a Python package that provides two high-level features: Tensor computation (like NumPy) with strong GPU acceleration Deep neural networks built on a tape-based autograd system
You can reuse your favorite Python packages such as NumPy, SciPy, and Cython to extend PyTorch when needed.
Our trunk health (Continuous Integration signals) can be found at hud.pytorch.org.
