PyTorch
       Foundation

Welcome to the PyTorch Foundation—a vibrant, collaborative hub created for and by the deep learning community. Here, developers, researchers, and industry leaders come together to shape and expand the open source PyTorch framework and ecosystem. Through a network of dedicated contributors to the PyTorch project, the PyTorch Foundation fuels discussion, innovation, and hands-on collaboration across the PyTorch landscape.

Community-driven collaboration is at the heart of PyTorch's growth and evolution. From advancing the core framework to building essential tools that power PyTorch at a production scale, your contributions are key to moving this ecosystem forward. As part of the Linux Foundation, the PyTorch community also supports a variety of initiatives: developer training, regional and local events, open source tooling, research, and guides for both newcomers and seasoned contributors—all to make your journey with PyTorch more accessible and rewarding.

Our Guiding Principles

Our mission is to drive the adoption of AI and deep learning by supporting an open, vendor-neutral ecosystem built around PyTorch. By making state-of-the-art tools and libraries accessible to everyone, we aim to democratize innovation in AI and ML.
