Amazon announces an Apache 2.0 release of TorchNeuron, a native PyTorch backend for AWS Trainium
Amazon said TorchNeuron, which it describes as running existing PyTorch code on its Trainium chips without a rewrite by plugging into PyTorch's standard mechanism for registering new hardware, would be released under the Apache 2.0 license at PyTorch Conference North America on October 20, 2026. Amazon says TorchNeuron supports Trainium2 and Trainium3 and that it is contributing changes upstream to PyTorch. The aws-neuron/torch-neuronx repository on GitHub is public, lists the Apache License 2.0, and describes itself as a native PyTorch backend for AWS Trainium. A Hugging Face blog post dated October 19 describes running Hugging Face models with it. USASI has not tested TorchNeuron.123
