How does Facebook's AI work?

A central focus of Facebook’s AI efforts is deploying cutting-edge machine learning technology to protect people from harmful content like hate speech and misinformation. Our goal is to identify these forms of policy-violating content quickly and accurately, for every form of content, and for every language and community around the world.

Why should Facebook adopt PyTorch as its default AI framework?

Adopting PyTorch as Facebook’s default AI framework helps ensure that all the experiences across our technologies will run optimally at Facebook scale and for everyone, regardless of what device, operating system, or quality of internet connection they may have.

Why is Facebook migrating AI to PyTorch?

Facebook’s AI models perform trillions of inference operations every day for the billions of people that use our technologies. Meeting this growing workload demand means we have to continually evolve our AI frameworks. Which is why, today we’re announcing that we’re migrating all our AI systems to PyTorch.
