SIGs/PyTorch

Help wanted!
You can help with this stuff and help define the future of PyTorch in Fedora! Join us on #fedora-ai-ml^[?] on Libera IRC and #ai-ml:fedoraproject.org on Matrix

PyTorch Special Interest Group (SIG)

PyTorch is a machine learning framework based on the Torch library, used for applications such as computer vision and natural language processing, originally developed by Meta AI and now part of the Linux Foundation umbrella. It is free and open-source software released under the modified BSD license.

Mission

TBD - define the mission

(e.g. during discussion; To package and maintain all required dependencies for a seamless PyTorch experience in Fedora. To make debugging issues reported against accelerator components easier to reproduce. To coordinate hardware enablement efforts that will benefit all of Fedora.)

Get Started

TBD - instructions on how to quickly fire up PyTorch and do something interesting; this should likely be a hosted notebook somewhere (maybe colab or some other externally willing provider) for demo, and then something like https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ until we get everything working packaged; consider publishing a container based on fedora with everything possible provided by packages and then the remaining steps automated (hw acceleration might be challenging, but is possible)
