📝 Editorial: The PyTorch Foundation
Machine learning (ML) is full of interesting frictions such as the fact that the dominating technical stacks, TensorFlow and PyTorch, are both open source but sponsored by large tech companies Google and Meta respectively. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this model as tech incumbents are among the main adopters of ML frameworks, it would be welcomed to see projects like TensorFlow and PyTorch to be governed by independent parties in a true open source spirit. Last week, Meta took an important step in that direction by announcing that PyTorch will move to an independent foundation.
The PyTorch Foundation was incubated under the Linux Foundation which brings a level of credibility and process robustness to this new effort…
