June 2026 Meetup

The June BangPypers meetup was a fantastic event, hosted at Red Hat, where we co-hosted with PyTorch and had insightful sessions covering PyTorch under the hood, hardware accelerators, video diffusion, and low-latency ML inference systems.

Sumantro Mukherjee and Arkadip Maitra started the proceedings with their talk on Introduction to Pytorch under the hood and ecosystem projects of foundation. They explored the inner workings of PyTorch and gave a comprehensive overview of the foundation’s surrounding ecosystem projects.

Introduction to Pytorch under the hood

Jewel Muraledhram presented Understanding PyTorch from ROCm’s perspective: An accelerator PoV. He offered a unique look into hardware acceleration, breaking down how PyTorch operates on the ROCm software stack.

Joydeep Bhattacharjee then took the stage to discuss Accelerating Video Diffusion for Inference. He explained the optimizations and techniques necessary to run heavy video diffusion models efficiently in production environments.

Shourya Gupta wrapped up the main talks with Engineering Low-Latency ML Inference Systems with FastAPI and PyTorch. He walked through the practical architecture and engineering practices required to build high-speed inference APIs.

We also had two engaging lightning talks:

Shubhang delivered a lightning talk on DNA Foundational Models, providing a quick dive into how foundational models are being applied to genomic sequences.

Abhik presented a lightning talk introducing Pythonlings, giving the audience a great overview of this new resource.

Community Announcements

Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce our upcoming full-day event: import_ bengaluru. Join us on September 6, 2026, for a full day of Python talks, networking, and learning!

A big thank you to all our speakers — Sumantro, Arkadip, Jewel, Joydeep, Shourya, Shubhang, and Abhik — as well as to our wonderful attendees, our venue partner Red Hat, and our co-host PyTorch for making this meetup a success. Stay tuned for more events and knowledge sharing in the months to come!
