PyTorch Foundation Spotlight: Richard Liaw

In this PyTorch Foundation Spotlight, Richard Liaw (Ray) discusses Ray’s focus on building critical, long-lasting infrastructure for AI workloads, and why neutral governance and open development are central to the project’s future.
Richard explains why Ray joined the PyTorch Foundation, pointing to the ecosystem that has formed around it, including PyTorch, DeepSpeed, and vLLM. He reflects on what Ray becoming part of the PyTorch Foundation represents for the AI stack, and why this move signals long-term stability, trust, and continued community-driven growth.
