Explanation
Facebook (Meta) created and launched PyTorch in 2016 through its AI Research lab (FAIR). It was built as an open-source deep learning framework and quickly became one of the most popular tools in the ML community due to its dynamic computation graphs and Python-first design.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A. Baidu - Baidu developed PaddlePaddle, its own deep learning framework, not PyTorch.
- B. Google - Google created TensorFlow (2015) and JAX, not PyTorch. This is the most common mix-up since both are dominant frameworks.
- D. Huawei - Huawei developed MindSpore; they had no role in PyTorch's creation.
Memory tip: Think "PyTorch = Facebook" - both the "F" in Facebook and the fire-torch icon evoke the "flame" of FAIR (Facebook AI Research). Alternatively, remember the rivalry: Google → TensorFlow, Facebook → PyTorch.
