Summary
Meta announced the creation of the PyTorch Foundation under the Linux Foundation umbrella in September 2022, transitioning PyTorch's governance from Meta to a neutral, multi-stakeholder body. The foundation aims to foster open-source AI development and broader community collaboration across industry and academia. Founding members include AMD, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
Key Points
- •PyTorch Foundation established as a neutral governance body under the Linux Foundation to oversee the widely-used open-source ML framework.
- •Founding members include major AI industry players: AMD, Amazon Web Services, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
- •Transition moves PyTorch governance away from Meta to a multi-stakeholder model, reducing single-company control over critical AI infrastructure.
- •Foundation aims to support community-driven development, education, and adoption of PyTorch for AI research and production.
- •Reflects broader trend of open-source AI tools requiring independent governance as their influence on AI capabilities grows.

Takeaways
PyTorch, one of the leading community-driven AI research frameworks, is moving to a new, independent PyTorch Foundation that will be part of the Linux Foundation.
The PyTorch Foundation will democratize access to state-of-the-art AI tools, libraries and other components to accelerate progress in AI.
Meta will continue to invest in PyTorch and use it as our primary framework for AI research and production applications at the company.
Since 2016, when we partnered with the AI community to create the PyTorch framework for AI research, open collaboration has been essential to its success. With thousands of contributors who have built more than 150,000 projects on it, PyTorch has become one of the leading platforms for research and production across the AI community.
Today, Mark Zuckerberg announced that the project will transition to a newly launched PyTorch Foundation, which will be part of the nonprofit Linux Foundation , a technology consortium whose core mission is the collaborative development of open-source software.
The creation of the PyTorch Foundation ensures that decisions will be made in a transparent and open manner by a diverse group of board members for many years to come. The governing body will be composed of representatives from AMD, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Meta, Microsoft Azure and Nvidia, with the intention to expand further over time.
