PyTorch 1.0 is just fantastic. A shameless plug: we (fast.ai) are also releasing fastai 1.0 for PyTorch today. fastai makes a lot of stuff in PyTorch easier to use, whilst allowing full customization with PyTorch code.

Since tensorflow has released eager execution a while ago, did you ever consider switching back to TF for your course (or have a version of it)?

I think PyTorch is still ahead of Tensorflow for interactive coding. But the next version of Tensorflow (2.0) looks like it could be a lot better, so there's a chance we'll add support for that later. No promises though!...

Fair enough.

Well said ..

The OP is about the exact platform that the software I linked to uses. The OP even links to the exact announcement that I linked to. It is about the first launch of software that's been under development for 2 years.

This seems like an entirely appropriate and relevant HN comment.

Can you please stop posting this? If you'd please stop posting unsubstantive and/or uncivil comments generally, we'd appreciate it.
