**TorchForge** is an enterprise-grade PyTorch framework that bridges the gap between research and production. Built with governance-first principles, it provides seamless integration with enterprise workflows, compliance frameworks (NIST AI RMF), and production deployment pipelines.

## 🎯 Why TorchForge?

Modern enterprises face critical challenges deploying PyTorch models to production:

- **Governance Gap**: No built-in compliance tracking for AI regulations (NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act)
- **Production Readiness**: Research code lacks monitoring, versioning, and audit trails
- **Performance Overhead**: Manual profiling and optimization for each deployment
- **Integration Complexity**: Difficult to integrate with existing MLOps ecosystems
- **Safety & Reliability**: Limited bias detection, drift monitoring, and error handling

TorchForge solves these challenges with a production-first wrapper around PyTorch.

git clone https://github.com/anilprasad/torchforge.git

cd torchforge

pip install -e .

```

```bash

# For cloud deployment

pip install torchforge[cloud]



# For advanced monitoring

pip install torchforge[monitoring]



# For development

```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python

import torch

import torch.nn as nn

from torchforge import ForgeModel, ForgeConfig



# Create a standard PyTorch model

class SimpleNet(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.fc = nn.Linear(10, 2)

    

    def forward(self, x):

        return self.fc(x)



# Wrap with TorchForge

config = ForgeConfig(

    model_name="simple_classifier",

    version="1.0.0",

    enable_monitoring=True,

    enable_governance=True

)



model = ForgeModel(SimpleNet(), config=config)



# Train with automatic tracking

x = torch.randn(32, 10)

y = torch.randint(0, 2, (32,))



output = model(x)

model.track_prediction(output, y)  # Automatic bias and fairness tracking

```

### Enterprise Deployment

```python

from torchforge.deployment import DeploymentManager



# Deploy to cloud with monitoring

deployment = DeploymentManager(

    model=model,

    cloud_provider="aws",

    instance_type="ml.g4dn.xlarge"

)



deployment.deploy(

    enable_autoscaling=True,

    min_instances=2,

    max_instances=10,

    health_check_path="/health"

)



# Monitor in real-time

metrics = deployment.get_metrics(window="1h")

print(f"Avg Latency: {metrics.latency_p95}ms")

print(f"Throughput: {metrics.requests_per_second} req/s")

```

### Governance & Compliance

```python

from torchforge.governance import ComplianceChecker, NISTFramework



# Check NIST AI RMF compliance

checker = ComplianceChecker(framework=NISTFramework.RMF_1_0)

report = checker.assess_model(model)



print(f"Compliance Score: {report.overall_score}/100")

print(f"Risk Level: {report.risk_level}")

print(f"Recommendations: {report.recommendations}")



# Export audit report

report.export_pdf("compliance_report.pdf")

```

## 📚 Comprehensive Examples
