He is currently doing research on AI systems and cloud computing, and his work includes numerous open-source projects such as SkyPilot, vLLM, ChatBot Arena , Ray and Apache Spark. He is a Member of National Academy of Engineering, an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy and an ACM Fellow. He also co-founded three companies, Anyscale (2019), Databricks (2013) and Conviva (2006)

Scott Suchyta is a senior Partner Product Manager at NVIDIA. He collaborates with open-source foundations, projects, and partners to ensure that developers can accelerate PyTorch (NVIDIA) in every cloud and with every model. This speeds up inference and tuning for tasks like modeling weather, discovering new medicines, and promoting sustainability in AI. With a strong background in high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI), Scott has consistently shown his expertise and commitment to excellence. Scott’s collaborative spirit and innovative approach have made him a valuable asset to his teams. In his free time, he enjoys exploring new technologies and staying updated with industry trends. Scott’s passion for continuous learning and growth drives his success both personally and professionally.

Matt White is the Executive Director of the PyTorch Foundation and GM of AI at the Linux Foundation. He is also the Director of the Generative AI Commons, an open community initiative focused on advancing responsible generative AI under the LF AI & Data Foundation. Matt has nearly 30 years of experience in applied research and standards in AI and data in telecom, media and gaming industries. He began his career programming expert systems in the telecom industry and since 2012 has been focused on machine learning and research at the intersection of AI, simulations and multi-sensory learning. Matt is the Co-founder and Chair of the Open Metaverse Foundation at the Linux Foundation. He is also a Chair at the Metaverse Standards Forum and runs the Silicon Valley Generative AI paper reading group and is a co-organizer at the GenAI Collective.

Sayce is the PM lead for XLA, Google’s ML compiler supporting TPUs, GPUs, and CPUs across all major AI/ML training and serving frameworks. His teams work closely with PyTorch leadership across the AI infrastructure stack to enable peak performance at scale across widely available ML hardware.

Jeff Daily, AMD Fellow, is the chief architect of the Machine Learning Software Engineering group supporting ML frameworks such as PyTorch and onnxruntime on AMD GPUs. He enjoys delivering open source software to answer the challenges of the rapidly-changing ML landscape. For over five years, he has contributed to the PyTorch core as well as its extension libraries. His sustained contributions earned him the first ever Linux Foundation PyTorchbearer Award “for excellence in long-term contributions across all PyTorch modalities.” Though he has not achieved the status of maintainer, Jeff is a trusted contributor. Jeff’s technical leadership is one of the reasons PyTorch runs out of the box without any code modifications on AMD GPUs. In addition to PyTorch technical contributions, Jeff is the AMD representative for the PyTorch Foundation’s Technical Advisory Committee.

Alban has been working on PyTorch since nearly its inception, first during his PhD at the University of Oxford and now at Meta. He is focused on maintaining core components, designing a wide breadth of features and fostering the PyTorch Community.

Mike started contributing to PyTorch in 2018 and led the addition of over 100 operators to the framework, including the operators in the linalg, fft, and special modules. He currently works on accelerating PyTorch programs with deep learning compilers.
