PyTorch 1.7.1 Release Notes

  • New Features
  • Critical Fixes
  • Other Fixes

New Features

Add Python 3.9 binaries for linux and macOS (#48133) and Windows (#48218)

NOTE: Conda installs for Python 3.9 will require the conda-forge channel, example:
conda install -y -c pytorch -c conda-forge pytorch.

Upgrade CUDA binaries to use cuDNN 8.0.5 (builder repo #571)

This upgrade fix regressions on Ampere cards introduced in cuDNN 8.0.4.
It will improve performance for 3090 RTX cards, and may improve performance in other RTX-30 series card.
