Combining the advantages of XLA’s compiler performance with PyTorch’s user interface and environment makes PyTorch/XLA the best of both worlds

[{"selector":"#anim-e8428d40-265b-4ab2-8633-927fde997d0f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(37.56491090377285%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-43782dd2-a86c-4133-9bc0-6057a89aef14","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}]

PyTorch XLA 2.2’s XLA cache function is without a doubt its best feature; it has eliminated compilation waits, which has allowed us to save a tonne of development time

[{"selector":"#anim-149ed14f-8bde-429b-8fe4-5d839bd952d1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-35.71428562760055%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a4492fd-f147-476c-9276-3af6d5ab8fa7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(109.46372%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ddbcbf3d-571b-4606-b758-433931c5599c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ee76bfe1-cdbb-44db-8d12-936d0d377e22","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

These developments have greatly improved video uniformity in addition to streamlining their development process and speeding up iterations

PyTorch XLA 2.3 offers significant improvements over PyTorchXLA 2.2 and brings us up to date with the PyTorch Foundation’s 2.3 release from earlier this week

PyTorch XLA + Pallas allows you to develop custom kernels tuned for TPUs, giving you the most control
