Google has joined Amazon in attacking Nvidia’s stronghold with AI app developers
What changed
On Tuesday, Google announced that TorchTPU, its long-awaited version of PyTorch, is now available as an open source project. PyTorch is the popular open source toolkit that AI app developers and startups use to build, train, and run AI models. Amazon made a similar announcement Monday, when it released its own version of PyTorch, called TorchNeuron.
Why it matters
A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
