// Bio
Dr. Michael Gschwind is a Director / Principal Engineer for PyTorch at Meta Platforms. At Meta, he led the rollout of GPU Inference for production services. He led the development of MultiRay and Textray, the first deployment of LLMs at a scale exceeding a trillion queries per day shortly after its rollout. He created the strategy and led the implementation of PyTorch donation optimization with Better Transformers and Accelerated Transformers, bringing Flash Attention, PT2 compilation, and ExecuTorch into the mainstream for LLMs and GenAI models. Most recently, he led the enablement of large language models on-device AI with mobile and edge devices.
