Hot stuff: Facebook AI gurus tout new Pytorch 1.0 framework for all

F8 Facebook announced Pytorch 1.0, an updated version of the popular AI framework Pytorch, that aims to make it easier for developers to use neural network systems in production. On the second day of its developer conference F8 in San Jose, California, CTO Mike Schroepfer, introduced Pytorch 1.0, and said it combines Pytorch, Caffe 2, with Open Neural Network Exchange (ONXX). Pytorch 1.0 will let developers use their tools of choice and run models on their cloud of choice at peak performance, Schroepfer said. Microsoft and Amazon are, apparently, planning to support Pytorch 1.0 for Azure and AWS. It's already deployed in some Facebook's services such as its machine translation system.
