PyTorch Day Japan 2026 will bring the open source AI community together in Tokyo on December 10 for a full day of technical talks and interactive discussions designed to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration. Hosted by PyTorch Foundation, Hugging Face, IBM, and Mitsubishi Electric, the event will bring together PyTorch enthusiasts, machine learning engineers, AI researchers, and industry professionals working across open source AI. The program will explore PyTorch and PyTorch Foundation hosted projects, including vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion, and Safetensors, alongside broader topics in AI and machine learning such as training, inference, responsible AI, physical and edge AI, and open model development. The call for proposals is now open, and registration is available with discounted pricing through November 11. Submit a Session Proposal PyTorch Day Japan 2026 is accepting proposals for session presentations and lightning talks. Suggested topics include: Sovereign AI and local open models: Strategies and architectures for building and running open-weights AI on local infrastructure, including open model adaptation, post-training, local inference, and privacy-first deployments using PyTorch. Physical AI and edge AI: Experiences bringing PyTorch models to physical hardware, robotics, and edge systems, including real-time on-device inference, vision-language-action models, hardware acceleration, and optimization for resource-constrained environments. PyTorch ecosystem: Developments across the PyTorch library and developer toolchain, including domain libraries such as TorchVision, TorchAudio, TorchRL, and PyTorch Distributed, as well as developer tooling, PyTorch 2.x and torch.compile, production pipelines, and community-driven open source projects. The CFP closes Sunday, September 27 at 11:59 PM JST.
