Microsoft Azure launches enterprise support for PyTorch – TechCrunch

Microsoft today announced PyTorch Enterprise, a new Azure service that provides developers with additional support when using PyTorch on Azure. PyTorch is a Python-centric open-source machine learning framework with a focus on computer vision and natural language processing. It was originally developed by Facebook and is, at least to some degree, comparable to Google's popular TensorFlow framework. Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft's corporate VP for communications, described the new PyTorch Enterprise service as providing developers with "a more reliable production experience for organizations using PyTorch in their data sciences work." With PyTorch Enterprise, members of Microsoft's Premier and Unified support program will get benefits like prioritized requests, hands-on support and solutions for hotfixes, bugs and security patches, Shaw explained.
