PyTorch Day Japan 2026

PyTorch Day Japan 2026 is a one-day open source AI conference at Bellesalle Akihabara in Tokyo on Thursday, December 10, 2026. It is the first PyTorch Day held in Japan, hosted by the PyTorch Foundation with Hugging Face, IBM and Mitsubishi Electric. The program covers PyTorch and the Foundation's hosted projects (vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion and Safetensors) in three areas: sovereign AI and local open models, physical and edge AI, and the PyTorch ecosystem. Talks run as 20-minute sessions and 10-minute lightning talks. The schedule was due on October 14, and the event falls in the same week as the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit Japan in Tokyo.

• ✓Machine learning engineers
• ✓AI researchers
• ✓PyTorch developers
• ✓AI infrastructure and MLOps engineers
• ✓Robotics and edge AI engineers
• ✓Engineering leaders at Japanese enterprises

Japanese manufacturers, electronics firms and enterprises building on open-weight models get a day with the engineers who maintain PyTorch, vLLM and DeepSpeed. The sovereign AI track addresses running open models on local infrastructure under privacy constraints, and the physical AI track covers deploying models onto robots and edge hardware. Engineering leaders can bring questions about on-premises inference and edge deployment and leave with direct contacts inside the projects their stack depends on.

• ✓Track: Sovereign AI and local open models (open-weights deployment, post-training, local inference, privacy-first deployments)
• ✓Track: Physical AI and edge AI (robotics, on-device inference, vision-language-action models, hardware acceleration)
• ✓Track: PyTorch ecosystem (TorchVision, TorchAudio, TorchRL, PyTorch Distributed, torch.compile, production pipelines)
• ✓20-minute session presentations
• ✓10-minute lightning talks
• ✓Sessions on PyTorch Foundation projects vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion and Safetensors

• ★First PyTorch Day in Japan, co-hosted by PyTorch Foundation, Hugging Face, IBM and Mitsubishi Electric
• ★Covers the Foundation's hosted projects together: PyTorch, vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion and Safetensors
• ★The call for proposals asked for practitioner content and discouraged marketing pitches
• ★Costs ¥5,000 before November 11, far below the price of a commercial AI conference
• ★Same week as Open Source Summit Japan (December 7 to 9) and ONE Summit Japan (December 10 to 11) in Tokyo

Attendee standard rate ¥5,000 from August 20 to November 11, 2026; late rate ¥8,000 from November 12 to December 10. Academic rate ¥5,000 throughout, with proof of academic ID. Rates close at 11:59 PM Japan time on the stated dates.
