About
PyTorch Conference 2026 is the North American flagship event of the PyTorch Foundation, the Linux Foundation project that stewards the PyTorch deep learning framework and related open source AI projects. The conference brings together AI researchers, machine learning engineers and infrastructure developers to explore where open source AI is heading, with attention to projects such as PyTorch, vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray and Safetensors. The 2026 edition runs 20–21 October in San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. The programme spans the full AI stack, from bare-metal infrastructure and compilers to model training, inference, generative AI and agent-based systems. Focused tracks cover frameworks and compilers, responsible AI and compliance, and security and privacy, giving the agenda depth beyond headline keynotes. Attendees gain in-depth technical talks, hands-on workshops and candid conversations with the maintainers and practitioners shaping the PyTorch ecosystem. The event is equally useful for engineers deploying models in production and for researchers pushing the framework forward. As open source becomes the default foundation for modern machine learning, PyTorch Conference is where much of that community connects and sets its direction for the year ahead.

Planning your trip to San Jose
Contains sponsored linksThe PyTorch Conference brings machine learning researchers and engineers to San Jose in late October, when Silicon Valley is still warm and dry, often in the low to mid twenties Celsius with clear skies and cool nights. San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area and the practical heart of the valley, with a compact downtown of plazas, museums and food halls. It is a natural base for visiting the tech campuses and history that shaped modern computing.
Getting there & around
San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) is only a few kilometres from downtown, about 10–15 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, and VTA buses also connect the terminals with the city. San Francisco International (SFO) offers more long-haul flights and lies roughly 45–75 minutes away by car depending on traffic; Caltrain links the peninsula with San Jose Diridon station. Oakland (OAK) is another option, and a car is useful if you plan to visit other valley towns.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Coverage is strong throughout the South Bay, and you will depend on apps for ride-hailing and transit timing between San Jose and the peninsula. An eSIM is a cost-effective alternative to international roaming for overseas attendees. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Computer History Museum. About 20–30 minutes north in Mountain View, this museum is a must for anyone in tech, with exhibits from early calculating machines to the rise of the internet and AI. Allow two to three hours. Check opening days, as it may not open every day of the week. Tickets on Tiqets →
Winchester Mystery House. This eccentric Victorian mansion, built continuously for decades by the widow of the rifle maker, is filled with staircases to nowhere and doors opening onto walls. Guided tours last around an hour and are especially popular in October around Halloween, so book ahead. Tickets on Tiqets →
The Tech Interactive. In downtown San Jose, this hands-on science and technology museum features exhibits on engineering, biotech and design. It is aimed at families, but adults enjoy its interactive labs. Allow two hours, and pair it with a stroll to nearby San Pedro Square Market for food. Tickets on Tiqets →
Stanford University. The campus in Palo Alto, around 30 minutes away, is free to explore, with the Main Quad, Memorial Church and the Cantor Arts Center with its Rodin sculpture garden. Allow half a day, and climb Hoover Tower for views when it is open.
Good to know
Which airport is best for San Jose?
SJC is closest and quickest to reach downtown, while SFO has more international connections but a longer transfer. Choose based on price and flight options.
Do I need a car in Silicon Valley?
Downtown San Jose is walkable, but a car or ride-hailing is helpful for visiting places like Mountain View or Stanford, since public transit connections can be slow.
What is the weather like in late October?
It is usually dry and sunny with warm afternoons, but evenings cool down noticeably, so bring a light jacket.
