brew install pytorch v2.12.1 BSD-3-Clause

Python machine learning library with dynamic neural networks and GPU acceleration support.

Why you might care

PyTorch is the dominant deep learning framework for research and production, offering intuitive Python APIs, automatic differentiation, and strong GPU/TPU support. Use it if you're building neural networks, doing computer vision or NLP work, or need tight integration with the Python data science stack; it competes with TensorFlow but is generally preferred for research due to its dynamic computation graphs and Pythonic design.
