Hey all,
Thank you for all the amazing work on PyTorch and the dedication to open-source and community building.
As I’ve been diving in to understand better the many machine-learning frameworks that have arisen, I’ve been trying to see if consolidation is possible.
This post is to get discussion around the fork from Chainer that PyTorch started as and how to facilitate connecting back to the Chainer community (helping Chainer users migrate to PyTorch, and working with Chainer maintainers to determine if PyTorch can be their community) as well.
The Chainer devs are largely in Japan, but very accessible and talented.  It is a shame that PyTorch and Chainer are not one effort.
Are there any thoughts on how to bridge these communities and help combine efforts again?
