Join the PyTorch Foundation Ambassador Program: A Global Network of Community Leaders

Featured projects A little over a year ago, the PyTorch Foundation launched the Ambassador Program, an initiative that recognizes and supports independent, trusted voices in the PyTorch community who are passionate about building, educating, and advocating for PyTorch. The aim of the program is to support regional PyTorch communities, recognize technical contributions and enable global knowledge sharing and collaboration. We are once again on the lookout for more PyTorch enthusiasts to join the program! This time, We especially encourage applications from contributors across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe as we continue expanding Ambassador representation across more regions and local communities.
