Actually not clear if there is an official affiliation with Facebook, other than some of the primary devs.

This project aside, I'm in love with that setup UI on the homepage telling you exactly how to get started given your current setup.

Notably absent is the otherwise Facebook-typical PATENTS license thing. Which I see as a good sign.

Also, it doesn't look like this has happened just now? PRs in the repo go back a couple months and the repo has 100+ contributors.

Is this related to lua's Torch at all?

I am confused with the license file. What does it mean? Some rights reserved and copyright... Doesnt look like a real open source project.

I was wondering the same thing. There's even another repo that seems mildly popular called pytorch on Github: https://github.com/hughperkins/pytorch

It's a community-driven project, a Python take of Torch http://torch.ch/. Several folks involved in development and use so far (a non-exhaustive list):

* Facebook * Twitter * NVIDIA * SalesForce * ParisTech * CMU * Digital Reasoning * INRIA * ENS

The maintainers work at Facebook AI Research

it's the same license file as https://github.com/torch/torch7 and http://torch.ch

The C libraries are shared among the Lua and Python variants
