Featured projects
A little over a year ago, the PyTorch Foundation launched the Ambassador Program, an initiative that recognizes and supports independent, trusted voices in the PyTorch community who are passionate about building, educating, and advocating for PyTorch. The aim of the program is to support regional PyTorch communities, recognize technical contributions and enable global knowledge sharing and collaboration.
We are once again on the lookout for more PyTorch enthusiasts to join the program! This time, We especially encourage applications from contributors across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe as we continue expanding Ambassador representation across more regions and local communities.
What does it take to become a PyTorch Foundation Ambassador?
PyTorch Foundation Ambassadors play a pivotal role in helping others get started with PyTorch Foundation projects through the work they do – be it mentoring users, creating technical tutorials or organizing local events. Ambassadors are expected to participate in at least one of the following focus areas on a regular basis. The commitment is for a two year term:
- Organize PyTorch Foundation project-focused events, both virtual and in-person
- Create technical tutorials, blog posts, and videos

- Represent PyTorch Foundation at conferences, meetups, and academic institutions
