PyTorch Deprecation of Conda Nightly Builds

release/packaging
1

Please see: [Announcement] Deprecating PyTorch’s official Anaconda channel · Issue #138506 · pytorch/pytorch · GitHub

PyTorch will stop publishing Anaconda packages that depend on Anaconda’s default packages due to the high maintenance costs for conda builds which are not justifiable with the ROI we observe today (as seen in download discrepancies between PyPI vs. conda). We are directing users to utilize our official wheel packages from download.pytorch.org or PyPI, or switch to utilizing conda-forge (pytorch-cpu, pytorch-gpu) packages if they would like to continue to use conda.

We will be stopping nightly builds for PyTorch core and Domain Libraries starting on Nov 18, 2024.

If you still depend on these binaries please switch to use Pip wheels which should be equivalent. Please refer to the install commands from getting started page for details

Cheers,

Team PyTorch

Any chance to reverse that?
The conda channel was the most reliable way to install PyTorch on Windows.
The alternatives in conda does not support Windows.
So it might be a small number of downloads, but it is the best solution for a whole group of users.
