Facebook launches PyTorch 1.0 with integrations for Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure Machine Learning

Facebook today announced the release of deep learning framework PyTorch 1.0 in developer preview, which includes a series of tools and integrations to make it more compatible with popular services from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft's Azure Machine Learning. Arm, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Intel are also adding PyTorch support for things like kernel library integrations and tools to track inference runtime. PyTorch was released to the public in January 2017 and has been downloaded more than 1 million times. PyTorch 1.0 was first announced in May at the F8 developer conference, and includes deeper integration with Facebook's Caffe2 and ONNX. Back in May, Facebook VP Bill Jia and CTO Mike Schroepfer promised PyTorch 1.0 would launch with new pretrained models, tools, and libraries to give developers more flexibility and options.
