Optimizing CUDA Recurrent Neural Networks with TorchScript
This week, we officially released PyTorch 1.1, a large feature update to PyTorch 1.0. One of the new features we’ve added is better support for fast, custom Recurrent Neural Networks (fastrnns) with TorchScript (the PyTorch JIT) (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/jit.html).

Stochastic Weight Averaging in PyTorch
In this blogpost we describe the recently proposed Stochastic Weight Averaging (SWA) technique [1, 2], and its new implementation in torchcontrib. SWA is a simple procedure that improves generalization in deep learning over Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) at no additional cost, and can be used as a drop-in replacement for any other optimizer in PyTorch. SWA has a wide range of applica...

The road to 1.0: production ready PyTorch
We would like to give you a preview of the roadmap for PyTorch 1.0 , the next release of PyTorch. Over the last year, we’ve had 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 transform PyTorch from a [Torch+Chainer]-like interface into something cleaner, adding double-backwards, numpy-like functions, advanced indexing and removing Variable boilerplate. At this time, we’re confident that the API is in a reasonable and stable state to confidently release a 1.0.

Tensor Comprehensions in PyTorch
Tensor Comprehensions (TC) is a tool that lowers the barrier for writing high-performance code. It generates GPU code from a simple high-level language and autotunes the code for specific input sizes.

PyTorch, a year in....
Today marks 1 year since PyTorch was released publicly. It’s been a wild ride — our quest to build a flexible deep learning research platform. Over the last year, we’ve seen an amazing community of people using, contributing to and evangelizing PyTorch — thank you for the love.

PyTorch Internals Part II - The Build System
In the first post I explained how we generate a torch.Tensor object that you can use in your Python interpreter. Next, I will explore the build system for PyTorch. The PyTorch codebase has a variety of components:
