I was pretty involved in the PyTorch ecosystem in the early days around 2016 and Adam was nothing short of a genius and prolific developer whose contributions to the codebase and community were immense. I think he was like an undergrad in Poland at the time. My understanding is that his contributions came before the internship, but I don’t know.

My memory is that Souminth was really open to other people’s contributions and questions, no matter their credentials. He was a great leader who felt approachable to the open-source community.
