Microsoft is now officially the maintainer of the Windows version of PyTorch, a popular open-source machine-learning library created by Facebook.
Microsoft’s decision to take a bigger role in the maintenance of PyTorch for Windows is part of an effort to improve the library’s performance on Windows 10 PCs and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which developers can use to run Linux distributions on Windows 10.
Facebook open-sourced PyTorch in 2018, about a year after launching it to help developers build cutting-edge AI models.
