More than 250 organizations across China contribute to PyTorch Foundation projects, including @DeepSpeedAI, Helion, PyTorch, @raydistributed, Safetensors, and @vllm_project. “Open source has become the default way the world builds AI, and the PyTorch Foundation is a leading hub for this innovation,” said @sparkycollier, Executive Director of the PyTorch Foundation. “Welcoming @alibaba_cloud, Cambricon, and @AntGroup as members alongside @Huawei further strengthens the global open source AI ecosystem and community building the open source intelligence layer developers rely on for training, optimizing, serving, distributing, and running models. PyTorch Conference China brings that community together in Shanghai to continue learning from one another.” Alibaba Cloud and Cambricon have joined the PyTorch Foundation as Platinum members, and Ant Group has joined as a Gold member. Representatives from the three new member companies and Huawei are delivering keynotes at PyTorch Conference China on advancing the open AI stack, covering hardware, models, and infrastructure throughout the conference. Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen infrastructure team is walking through how they serve Qwen at massive scale. Huawei will explore hardware-software co-design and the interoperability needed between Chinese and global AI technology stacks. Cambricon is detailing how the company is hardening PyTorch’s device-agnostic foundation so any backend can offer broader reach and richer native capabilities. Ant Group is showing how existing cloud native building blocks can be assembled into a secure, on-demand runtime for AI agents. Taken together, these keynotes move from silicon to software to deployment, giving conference attendees a full-stack view of how open source is being built into every layer of AI in China. 🔗 Read the press release:
