Leaving Meta and PyTorch
I'm stepping down from PyTorch and leaving Meta on November 17th.
tl;dr: Didn't want to be doing PyTorch forever, seemed like the perfect time to transition right after I got back from a long leave and the project built itself around me.

apparently Google laid off their entire Python Foundations team, WTF!
( @SkyLi0n who is one of the pybind11 maintainers just informed me, asking what ways they can re-fund pybind11)
The team seems to have done substantial work that seems critical for Google internally as well.

Can finally talk some GPU numbers publicly 🙃
By the end of the year, Meta will have 600k H100-equivalent GPUs.
Feel free to guess what's already deployed and being used 😉!

I love how @FFmpeg is conducting themselves online.

@francoisfleuret There's three parts.
1. Fitting as large of a network and as large of a batch-size as possible onto the 10k/100k/1m H100s -- parallelizing and using memory-saving tricks.

* Stock PyTorch: no real modificat…
Based on all the user-request videos that @sama's been posting, it looks like sora is powered by a Game Engine, and generates artifacts and parameters for the Game Engine. 🤔
