Small introduction to PyTorch.

What is PyTorch?

Facebook’s framework for neural networks.

Set Up

Install Python.

brew install python

PyTorch binaries support Anaconda or pip.

Anaconda:

curl -O https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
sh Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

If on a M1:

curl -O https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh
sh Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-arm64.sh

conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

Pip:

pip3 install torch torchvision

Ensure PyTorch was installed correctly:

import torch
x = torch.rand(5, 3)
print(x)

Output should be:

tensor([[0.3380, 0.3845, 0.3217],
        [0.8337, 0.9050, 0.2650],
        [0.2979, 0.7141, 0.9069],
        [0.1449, 0.1132, 0.1375],
        [0.4675, 0.3947, 0.1426]])
