SDxCentral Quick Hit: Meta Transitions PyTorch to Linux Foundation

Meta announced that machine learning (ML) software project PyTorch has been transitioned to the Linux Foundation. As of August 2022, PyTorch was in the top 5 fastest growing open source software communities in the world, alongside the Linux kernel and Kubernetes.

Under the Linux Foundation umbrella the independent PyTorch Foundation will "democratize state-of-the-art tools, libraries, and other components to make these innovations accessible to everyone," according to a Meta announcement. Since Meta created PyTorch six years ago, around 2,400 contributors have built more than 150,000 projects on the framework.

In a separate announcement, the Linux Foundation said PyTorch is "one of the most important foundational platforms for development, testing and deployment of AI/ML and Deep Learning applications." The Linux Foundation already hosts and works with many projects that either contribute directly to foundational AI/ML projects or contribute to their use cases, such as LF Networking, AGL, Delta Lake, RISC-V, CNCF, and Hyperledger.
