Last year, Meta announced that PyTorch joined the Linux Foundation as a neutral home for growing the machine learning project and community with AMD representation as a part of the founding membership and governing board.
PyTorch Foundation’s mission is to drive AI adoption by democratizing its software ecosystem through open source principles aligning with the AMD core principle of an Open software ecosystem. AMD strives to foster innovation through the support for latest generations of hardware, tools, libraries, and other components to simplify and accelerate adoption of AI across a broad range of scientific discoveries.
AMD, along with key PyTorch codebase developers (including those at Meta AI), delivered a set of updates to the ROCm™ open software ecosystem that brings stable support for AMD Instinct™ accelerators as well as many Radeon™ GPUs. This now gives PyTorch developers the ability to build their next great AI solutions leveraging AMD GPU accelerators & ROCm.

See Jeff Daily, Principal Member of the AMD Technical Staff, speak about "Getting started with PyTorch on AMD GPUs" at the PyTorch Conference.
Making the ROCm platform even easier to adopt
For ROCm users and developers, AMD is continually looking for ways to make ROCm easier to use, easier to deploy on systems and to provide learning tools and technical documents to support those efforts.
Helpful Resources:
- The ROCm web pages provide an overview of the platform and what it includes, along with markets and workloads it supports.
- ROCm Information Portal is a portal for users and developers that posts the latest versions of ROCm along with API and support documentation. This portal also now hosts the ROCm Learning Center to help introduce the ROCm platform to new users, as well as to provide existing users with curated videos, webinars, labs, and tutorials to help in developing and deploying systems on the platform.
- AMD Infinity Hub gives you details on ROCm supported HPC applications and ML frameworks, and how to get the latest versions. You can also access the ROCm Application Catalog, which includes an up-to-date listing of ROCm enabled applications.
- Finally, learn more about our AMD Instinct MI200 Series of accelerators and partner server solutions in our AMD Instinct Server Solutions Catalog.
