As Europe’s AI sovereignty debate draws more attention to models, @tech_eu examines PyTorch’s role in the open source infrastructure that supports them. Cate Lawrence (@tech_eu) spoke with Mark Collier, Executive Director, PyTorch Foundation, about PyTorch as a common software layer for open-weight AI, neutral governance for critical AI infrastructure, and PyTorch Foundation’s expanding role as a home for projects including @vllm_project, @DeepSpeedAI, @raydistributed, and Helion. The article also covers SafeTensors moving toward community stewardship under PyTorch Foundation. As Lawrence writes, “For Collier, Europe's competitive advantage isn't simply producing more AI models — it's helping build the open infrastructure that allows an entire ecosystem of companies to innovate.” 🔗 Read it here:
