PyTorch published the full schedule for PyTorch Day Japan 2026 (December 10, Tokyo). Registration by November 11 saves ¥3,000; sessions will be recorded and posted on the PyTorch Conference YouTube channel.
Highlights:
- ExecuTorch on non-GPU silicon: IBM engineers walk through porting PyTorch's on-device inference runtime to the IBM AIU accelerator purely via public backend-delegate extension points — custom partitioner, AOT-only compilation with CPU-fallback boundaries, mixed-dtype tensor bridge, and static bucketing for dynamic shapes — running Granite LLMs end-to-end, with a practical checklist for new targets.
- PyTorchKR community story: eight years of community building turning developers, researchers and students into open source contributors.
