Both were announced at PyTorch Conference Europe in Paris. Additionally, Meta's ExecuTorch, which enables running PyTorch models on edge and on-device environments, is being merged into PyTorch Core. The moves reflect the AI ecosystem's growing focus on production deployment, hardware portability, and secure model distribution.
