Huawei becomes the first highest-ranking member of PyTorch Foundation in China
CTOnews.com October 18 news, PyTorch Foundation website announced today that Huawei joined the PyTorch Foundation, becoming the first in China and the tenth highest-level PyTorch Premier member in the world.
According to the official blog, Huawei has long been a supporter and contributor to the PyTorch ecosystem. By promoting diversity computing support and improvement, Huawei helps more vendors' back-end access to the PyTorch ecosystem more easily, and is actively committed to PyTorch optimization, thus fully unleashing the computing power of Teng.
The latest version 2.1 released by the PyTorch community has synchronously supported Teng NPU and updated a more perfect third-party equipment access mechanism under the promotion of Huawei. Based on this feature, the three-party AI computing devices can dock with the PyTorch framework without modifying the original framework code. Teng Teng also provides an officially certified Torch NPU reference implementation, which can guide the convenient access of the three-party devices. Based on the new version, users can directly enjoy the development experience of native PyTorch on Teng NPU, and obtain models and applications that run efficiently on Teng computing devices.
"by joining PyTorch, we can further collaborate with other member companies to accelerate the development of the PyTorch community." "We believe that this is mutually beneficial to the Huawei and PyTorch ecosystems, and it is also in line with our long-standing open source concept of open innovation and win-win collaboration, bringing more inspiration and innovation to the global artificial intelligence community," said Zhang Dixuan, president of Huawei's Penteng computing business. "
"Huawei has conducted extensive research in the fields of computer vision, natural language processing and speech recognition, and has accumulated mature research experience in the field of large models. We believe that PyTorch will benefit greatly from their support for our members and ecosystems." Ibrahim Haddad, executive director of PyTorch, said.
