PyTorch is known for being a clean framework, and hence it was a challenging task to achieve the production capability and flexibility needed for research. I think that the major hurdle for pushing production support to the core was going out of Python's realm and moving the PyTorch model to a faster, thread-safe language that has multithreading capability. But then, that violated the Python-first principle that PyTorch had up to that…
