# forck.live — 17–23 October 2022 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is one issue of the weekly archive: every confirmed first-party announcement of ISO week 2022-W42, 17–23 October 2022, newest first. The window never moves, so this URL always names the same seven days — but a post published inside them and detected later is added when it arrives, so a closed week can still gain entries. Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. - This week's page: https://forck.live/week/2022-W42 - The current issue, and the catalogue of the other weeks: https://forck.live/briefing.md - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Announcements ### Hugging Face — From PyTorch DDP to Accelerate to Trainer, mastery of distributed training with ease - Company: Hugging Face (huggingface.co) - Announced: 2022-10-21 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://huggingface.co/blog/pytorch-ddp-accelerate-transformers - Record: https://forck.live/items/2141-from-pytorch-ddp-to-accelerate-to-trainer-mastery-of-distributed-training-with - Subject: Platform To use PyTorch DDP, Hugging Face Accelerate, and Hugging Face Trainer for distributed training on multiple GPUs. ### Replit — Replit Mobile App - Company: Replit (replit.com) - Announced: 2022-10-19T08:00:00+00:00 - Category: availability-change - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://replit.com/blog/mobile-app - Record: https://forck.live/items/18014-replit-mobile-app - Subject: Replit Agent Replit announced the launch of its native mobile app for Android and iOS, featuring a new code editing experience with a coding joystick for navigation, local-first auto-completion for Python, HTML, CSS, JS, and TypeScript, and Ghostwriter AI pair programming available to early testers with a full launch later in the month.
