Announcements

Starting with the next major version of CUDA release, we will no longer provide Python 2 containers and will only maintain Python 3 containers.

Caffe2 is now merged into PyTorch. Due to lack of upstream changes in the separate Caffe2 container and merges into a separate repository with PyTorch, we will discontinue updates at the next version of CUDA. Until we discontinue, we will continue to update NVIDIA libraries and base OS updates.

Known Issues

There are no known issues in this release.
