TorchGAN – Research Framework for Modelling GANs Based on Pytorch

In plain words

TorchGAN is a research framework built on PyTorch for modeling generative adversarial networks (GANs). It is designed for researchers and developers working with GANs who need a structured, PyTorch-based implementation. The framework provides tools and utilities that simplify GAN development and experimentation, making it easier to build, train, and test different GAN architectures without starting from scratch.

  Torch Lens Maker – Differentiable Geometric Optics in PyTorch2025 · victorpoughon.github.io · ▲179

  Hello HN! For the past 6 months I've been working on an open source python library that implements differentiable geometric optics in PyTorch. It's very experimental still, but eventually the goal is to use it to design optical systems with a state of the art optimization framework and a beautiful code based API. Think OpenSCAD, but for optical systems. Not only is PyTorch's autograd an amazing general purpose optimizer, but torch.nn (the neural network building blocks) can be used pretty much out of the box to model an optical system. This is because there is a strong analogy to be made…

  Deep Learning Framework from scratch (60 step tutorial)2022 · koki0702.github.io · ▲40

  Want to create a Deep Learning framework from scratch? Checkout this resource: https://koki0702.github.io/dezero-book/en/index.html In this book, you will create a deep learning framework called "DeZero" from scratch (from zero), which is the original framework of this book. With minimal code, the framework's modern features are realized. In this book, you will make this small - yet powerful enough - framework in a total of 60 steps. It will deepen your knowledge of modern frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.

  Luminal – Open-source, search-based GPU compiler2025 · github.com · ▲153

  Hi HN, I’m Joe. My friends Matthew, Jake and I are building Luminal (https://luminalai.com/), a GPU compiler for automatically generating fast GPU kernels for AI models. It uses search-based compilation to achieve high performance. We take high level model code, like you'd have in PyTorch, and generate very fast GPU code. We do that without using LLMs or AI - rather, we pose it as a search problem. Our compiler builds a search space, generates millions of possible kernels, and then searches through it to minimize runtime. You can try out a demo in `demos/matmul` on mac to…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
