## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 50/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 39, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3661, "days_push": 366, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A curated repository of short, high-quality PyTorch example projects covering vision, text, reinforcement learning, and distributed training. Each example is minimal and dependency-light, intended to be emulated in users' own work.

## Use cases
- learn pytorch by example
- mnist image classification example code
- train a dcgan in pytorch
- pytorch distributed data parallel example
- reinforcement learning cartpole pytorch example
- word-level language model rnn transformer example
- neural style transfer pytorch implementation

## When to choose
- you want short, curated, runnable PyTorch code to copy patterns from
- you need canonical examples of DDP/RPC distributed training
- you are learning deep learning concepts like VAEs, GANs, or RL with minimal dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need full tutorials or step-by-step explanations (use pytorch/tutorials)
- you need production-ready recipes (use facebookresearch/recipes)
- you need pretrained models or a model hub (use PyTorch Hub or Hugging Face)

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: machine-learning, deep-learning, computer-vision, nlp, reinforcement-learning
- domain: deep-learning, machine-learning, computer-vision, tutorials
