Torch
Noun · AI & Machine Learning
Definitions
Short for PyTorch — the open-source deep learning framework built by Meta that provides GPU-accelerated tensor computation and automatic differentiation, imported in Python as `import torch`. It is the dominant framework for research and increasingly for production ML.
In plain English: The most popular programming toolkit for building and training AI models, made by Meta.
Example: "Just `import torch` and you've got autograd, CUDA tensors, and a model zoo — no wonder it killed TensorFlow in research."
