TorchDynamo / torch.compile (Experimental)
TorchDynamo (Dynamo) is a Python-level JIT compiler designed to make unmodified PyTorch programs faster. It provides a clean API for compiler backends to hook in; its biggest feature is to dynamically modify Python bytecode just before execution. In the PyTorch/XLA 2.0 release... | https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-2.0-xla/ | pytorch blogs |
Here is a small code example of running ResNet18 with torch.compile:
import torch

device = xm.xla_device()
xla_resnet18 = torchvision.models.resnet18().to(device)
xla_resnet18.eval()
dynamo_resnet18 = torch.compile(

Dynamo for training is in the development stage with its implementation being at an earlier stage than inference. Developers are welcome to test this early feature, however, in the 2.0 release, PyTorch/XLA supports the forward and backward pass graphs and not the optimizer graph; the optimizer graph is available in the... | https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-2.0-xla/ | pytorch blogs |
for data, target in loader:
output = dynamo_train_model(xla_resnet18, data, target)

Note that the backend for training is aot_torchxla_trace_once (API will be updated for stable release) whereas the inference backend is torchxla_trace_once (name subject to change). We expect to extract and execute 3 graphs per ... | https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-2.0-xla/ | pytorch blogs |
PJRT Runtime (Beta)
PyTorch/XLA is migrating from XRT to the new PJRT runtime. PJRT is a better-maintained stack, with demonstrated performance advantages, including, on average, a 35% performance for training on TorchBench 2.0 models. It also supports a richer set of features enabling technologies like SPMD. In the Py... | https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-2.0-xla/ | pytorch blogs |
Switching to PJRT requires no change (or minimal change for GPUs) to user code (see pjrt.md for more details). Runtime configuration is as simple as setting the PJRT_DEVICE environment variable to the local device type (i.e. TPU, GPU, CPU). Below are examples of using PJRT runtimes on different devices.

GSPMD provides automatic parallelization for common ML workloads, allowing developers to write PyTorch programs as if... | https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-2.0-xla/ | pytorch blogs |
Next Steps for GSPMD
GSPMD is experimental in 2.0 release. To bring it to Stable status, we plan to address a number of feature gaps and known issues in the following releases, including multi-host support, DTensor integration, partial replication sharding, asynchronous data loading, and checkpointing.
FSDP (Beta)

On some mobile platforms, such as Pixel, we observed that memory is returned to the system more aggressively. This results in frequent page faults as PyTorch being a functional framework does not maintain state for the operators. Thus outputs are allocated dynamically on each execution of the op, for the most ops. To a... | https://pytorch.org/blog/pytorch-1.7-released/ | pytorch blogs |

out_image1_cuda = transforms(tensor_image.cuda())
with batches
batched_image = torch.randint(0, 256, size=(4, 3, 256, 256), dtype=torch.uint8)
out_image_batched = transforms(batched_image)
and has torchscript support
out_image2 = scripted_transforms(tensor_image)
These improvements enable the following new features:

[Beta] New Video Reader API
This release introduces a new video reading abstraction, which gives more fine-grained control of iteration over videos. It supports image and audio, and implements an iterator interface so that it is interoperable with other the python libraries such as itertools.

```
Notes:
* In order to use the Video Reader API beta, you must compile torchvision from source and have ffmpeg installed in your system.
* The VideoReader API is currently released as beta and its API may change following user feedback.

To ensure the ongoing growth and success of the framework, we're introducing the use of the Apache Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for PyTorch. We care deeply about the broad community of contributors who make PyT... | https://pytorch.org/blog/a-contributor-license-agreement-for-pytorch/ | pytorch blogs |
PyTorch has grown from a small group of enthusiasts to a now global community with over 1,600 contributors from dozens of countries, each bringing their own diverse perspectives, values and approaches to collaboration. Looking forward, clarity about how this collaboration is happening is an important milestone for the ... | https://pytorch.org/blog/a-contributor-license-agreement-for-pytorch/ | pytorch blogs |
The text of the Apache CLA can be found here, together with an accompanying FAQ. The language in the PyTorch CLA is identical to the Apache template. Although CLAs have been the subject of significant discussion in the open source community, we are seeing that using a CLA, and particularly the Apache CLA, is now standa... | https://pytorch.org/blog/a-contributor-license-agreement-for-pytorch/ | pytorch blogs |
What is Not Changing
PyTorch’s BSD license is not changing. There is no impact to PyTorch users. CLAs will only be required for new contributions to the project. For past contributions, no action is necessary. Everything else stays the same, whether it’s IP ownership, workflows, contributor roles or anything else that ... | https://pytorch.org/blog/a-contributor-license-agreement-for-pytorch/ | pytorch blogs |
If you're contributing as an individual, meaning the code is not something you worked on as part of your job, you should sign the individual contributor agreement. This agreement associates your GitHub username with future contributions and only needs to be signed once.

FX based feature extraction is a new TorchVision utility that lets us access intermediate transformations of an input during the forward p... | https://pytorch.org/blog/FX-feature-extraction-torchvision/ | pytorch blogs |
Did that all sound a little complicated? Not to worry as there’s a little in this article for everyone. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced deep-vision practitioner, chances are you will want to know about FX feature extraction. If you still want more background on feature extraction in general, read on. If you’re... | https://pytorch.org/blog/FX-feature-extraction-torchvision/ | pytorch blogs |
Figure 1: ResNet-50 takes an image of a bird and transforms that into the abstract concept "bird". Source: Bird image from ImageNet.
We know though, that there are many sequential “layers” within the ResNet-50 architecture that transform the input step-by-step. In Figure 2 below, we peek under the hood to s... | https://pytorch.org/blog/FX-feature-extraction-torchvision/ | pytorch blogs |
Figure 2: ResNet-50 transforms the input image in multiple steps. Conceptually, we may access the intermediate transformation of the image after each one of these steps. Source: Bird image from ImageNet.

That looks pretty easy. But there are some downsides here which all stem from the same underlying issue: that is, modifying the source code is not ideal:
It’s not always easy to access and change given the practical considerations of a project.

Write a new module using the parameters from the original one
Following on the example from above, say we want to get a feature map from each block. We could write a new module like so:
class CNNFeatures(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, backbone):
super().__init__()
self.blocks = backbone.blocks
