Microsoft has revealed that it has taken control of a popular open source machine learning library for Windows 10 Linux systems originally created by Facebook. Used by developers on Linux and Windows, the PyTorch AI social network, which allows developers to take advantage of Python-based machine learning tools, was launched by the social network in 2017, before going open source for a year. later. Microsoft says its role as the new maintainer of the Windows version of PyTorch will result in better performance on Windows 10 PCs and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which developers can use to run Linux distributions on Windows 10...

In addition to helping developers build and evolve AI learning models, PyTorch had played a central role in many Facebook services, with use cases such as language translation and graphics. dynamic. The system has also seen tremendous growth on GitHub (which is owned by Microsoft) in recent months, which may have helped influence the change. In a blog post explaining the move, which coincided with the release of PyTorch 1.6, engineers at Facebook and Microsoft noted that a lack of sufficient support contributed to the decision, especially with Windows as the remaining system. Main developer exploit. "The lack of test coverage caused unexpected problems from time to time. Some of the basic tutorials, intended to enable new users to learn and adopt PyTorch, failed." "The installation experience wasn't that smooth either, due to the lack of official PyPI support for PyTorch on Windows. Finally, some PyTorch features were simply not available on the Windows Form platform, such as the TorchAudio domain library and the Distributed training material."To help ease this pain, Microsoft is excited to bring its Windows expertise to the table and bring PyTorch on Windows to its best level."The change is also expected to help improve new learning training automatic GPU-accelerated in WSL, shortly after the announcement that Microsoft will bring GPU support to Linux in Windows 10 via WSL This was followed by Nvidia, Intel and AMD who also announced their support for the effort, with Microsoft waiting move to improve machine learning training at WSL Via ZDNet
