Torch

Noun · AI & Machine Learning

Definitions

  1. 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."
