The PyTorch Foundation is proud to launch the PyTorch Ambassador Program, an initiative that recognizes and supports individuals who are passionate about building, educating, and advocating for PyTorch in impactful ways.
From organizing local events to mentoring new users, creating technical tutorials, and speaking at global conferences, PyTorch Ambassadors play a critical role in growing and supporting the global PyTorch ecosystem. The first official cohort of Ambassadors will launch in June 2025, with nominations open from May 7 to June 7, 2025.
About the Program
The PyTorch Ambassador Program highlights independent, trusted voices in the PyTorch community. These leaders help others get started with PyTorch, contribute to the ecosystem, and promote its use across industry, academia, and research.
The program is designed to:
- Support local and regional PyTorch communities
- Recognize technical contributions and thought leadership
- Enable global knowledge sharing and collaboration

Ambassadors are active contributors who:
