PyTorch - NVIDIA AI Workbench Default Container (Beta)

NVIDIA AI Workbench provides a set of default base images, referred to as Base Environments in the application, that are used as the starting point when creating the container for a new project.

This is a PyTorch image with PyTorch 2.1.0 and CUDA 12.2 and with JupyterLab and Tensorboard applications installed that is configured for use with AI Workbench. It is based off of https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/pytorch.

AI Workbench is currently in Early Access. To access the software and start using this conatiner, first sign up here: https://developer.nvidia.com/ai-workbench-early-access

Use of this container falls under the AI Workbench EULA, which is available in DevZone after acceptance into the Early Access program.
