Making PyTorch More "NumPy Compatible"

on YouTube ↗06m

" summary

PyTorch 1.7 implements many NumPy functions and changes specific behaviors to match NumPy (for example division now does true division), adds torch.quantile, stacking helpers like hstack/vstack/dstack, FFT support exposed as torch.fft, even special functions such as the zeroth‑order modified Bessel function, and modifies over 65 operators to align with NumPy; the roadmap lists about 38 more operator changes for 1.8 plus a torch.linalg module and growing community contributors.
