🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
The nominee is now an incoming PhD student at Princeton University with a lot of time on his hands. He has written research papers using PyTorch.
He plans to write numerous blog posts and YouTube videos containing cool PyTorch tutorials such as pretraining tutorials with the new FSDP2 API, the ins-and-outs of the PyTorch compiler (e.g. registering custom CUDA op. so no graph breaks), integrating PyTorch with Triton, etc.
He is a big believer in PyTorch's ability to continue leading as the forefront framework for machine learning and is eager to spread the message of PyTorch to others (e.g. hosting PyTorch workshops for the students at Princeton University).Any additional details you'd like to share?
