Level of commitment: We are committing to gathering high bandwidth feedback only. Based on this feedback and potential further engagement between community members, we as a community will decide if we want to upgrade the level of commitment or to fail fast. Additionally, while some of these features might be more speculative (e.g. new Frontend APIs), others have obvious utility (e.g. model optimization) but may be in a state where gathering feedback outside of high bandwidth channels is not practical, e.g. the feature may be in an earlier state, may be moving fast (PRs are landing too quickly to catch a major release) and/or generally active development is underway.
What changes for current features?
First and foremost, you can find these designations on pytorch.org/docs. We will also be linking any early stage features here for clarity.
Additionally, the following features will be reclassified under this new rubric:
