PyTorch Foundation Adopts Ray Distributed Computing Framework Under Linux Foundation Governance
The PyTorch Foundation has added Ray as a hosted project, uniting the distributed computing framework with PyTorch and vLLM under neutral governance. This consolidation addresses enterprise concerns about vendor control while creating a cohesive platform for AI workloads. The move positions the combined stack against proprietary alternatives from major cloud providers.
Major Consolidation in AI Infrastructure
The PyTorch Foundation has expanded its portfolio by adopting Ray, the distributed computing framework originally developed by Anyscale, according to industry reports. This strategic move unites three critical AI infrastructure components—PyTorch for training, vLLM for inference, and Ray for distributed computing—under a single governance model managed by the Linux Foundation.
