#PyTorchCon North America 2026 brought 3,500+ attendees to San Jose to accelerate open intelligence.
The PyTorch Foundation welcomed nine new members, including
@Nebius,
@Nscale, and
@Shopify as Platinum members, deepening its role as the intelligence layer for open source AI development.
“Open systems learn faster when more people, projects, and organizations are working together, creating compounding gains,” said
@sparkycollier, Executive Director of the PyTorch Foundation. “Open source ecosystems let breakthroughs travel between organizations instead of staying locked inside one company.”

@Meta introduced TorchTPU for native PyTorch execution on Google TPUs.
