200: Tech Tales FoundPyTorch: The Hidden Force Behind the AI RevolutionThis episode explores the transformative impact of PyTorch, a powerful open-source machine learning framework that has quietly become a cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence. Developed initially as an internship project in 2016 by Adam Paszke and Soumith Chintala at Meta's AI Research lab, PyTorch was designed to be more flexible and intuitive for developers than its predecessor frameworks like TensorFlow. Its dynamic computation graph allows researchers to experiment rapidly, making it the preferred tool in academic and research communities. Today, PyTorch powers a wide range of AI applications—from facial recognition on smartphones to autonomous vehicles, medical diagnostics, and generative AI...

Elixir WizardsNx and Machine Learning in Elixir with Sean MoriarityToday on Elixir Wizards, hosts Sundi Myint and Charles Suggs catch up with Sean Moriarity, co-creator of the Nx project and author of Machine Learning in Elixir. Sean reflects on his transition from the military to a civilian job building large language models (LLMs) for software. He explains how the Elixir ML landscape has evolved since the rise of ChatGPT, shifting from building native model implementations toward orchestrating best-in-class tools.
We discuss the pragmatics of adding ML to Elixir apps: when to start with out-of-the-box LLMs vs. rolling your own, how to hook into Python-based libraries, and...

InterconnectsInterviewing Ross Taylor on LLM reasoning, Llama fine-tuning, Galactica, agentsI had the pleasure of Talking with Ross Taylor, who has a great spectrum of unique experiences in the language modeling space — evaluation experience, Galactica lead author, Llama post training, etc. This is a really great conversation on the frontier of language model (LM) reasoning, LM deployments and demos, LM’s for science, RLHF, and other topics. I’ve been trying to get Ross to come on for a bit. He’s one of those people in the LM space that doesn’t speak too much, but when you do, you listen.Ross Taylor was previously an LLM lead a...

The Untold Stories of Open SourceThe Story Behind PyTorch and the Community Who Maintains It, with Soumith ChintalaThere’s no need to bury the lead here. Soumith Chintala is the central figure in a major transition in the world of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. He works at Meta where he’s the manager of PyTorch, an open source machine learning framework that was recently transferred to the Linux Foundation. PyTorch enables ML engineers to deploy new AI models in minutes rather than weeks.Soumith has been a community leader for the past decade, but he was a self-described introvert when he was growing up in Hyderabad. He is a researcher with over 52,000 citations and...

O'Reilly RadarWhy AI and Machine Learning Researchers are Beginning to Embrace PyTorchIn this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Soumith Chintala, AI research engineer at Facebook. Among his many research projects, Chintala was part of the team behind DCGAN (Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks), a widely cited paper that introduced a set of neural network architectures for unsupervised learning. Our conversation centered around PyTorch, the successor to the popular Torch scientific computing framework. PyTorch is a relatively new deep learning framework that is fast becoming popular among researchers. Like Chainer, PyTorch supports dynamic computation graphs, a feature that makes it attractive to researchers and engineers who work with text...
