Pytorch: the software layer underpinning Europe's AI ambitions

Europe has emerged as one of the world's leading centres for open-weight AI, with companies including Mistral, Black Forest Labs and Helsing contributing to a growing ecosystem focused on open models and AI sovereignty. Much of that ecosystem relies on PyTorch, the open source machine learning framework used by the vast majority of organisations training frontier AI models. Earlier this year, I spoke with Mark Collier, Executive Director, PyTorch Foundation, at the PyTorch Paris conference.
