What is PyTorch?
As mentioned earlier, PyTorch is a tensor computation library that can be powered by GPUs. PyTorch is built with certain goals, which makes it different from all the other deep learning frameworks. During this book, you'll be revisiting these goals through different applications and by the end of the book, you should be able to get started with PyTorch for any sort of use case you have in mind, regardless of whether you are planning to prototype an idea or build a super-scalable model to production.
