What is PyTorch in Applied AI?
An open-source machine learning framework, originally from Meta, now governed by the PyTorch Foundation. PyTorch is the dominant framework in academic research and increasingly in production. The tensor abstraction, dynamic computation graph, and Python-first design are why it took share from earlier frameworks.
