Can we use fastai(it's built on top of pytorch) library in our project?

fastai library is built on top of Pytorch, it is even mentioned on the PyTorch ecosystem website [https://pytorch.org/ecosystem] . So, can the project we built entirely using fastai ?

    Hey!

    You can use libraries on top of your PyTorch projects so go for it!

    Best,

    Hey, Stefanie. Thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstood my question. I don't have a PyTorch project. fastai library is built on top of PyTorch and deeply connected to it.

    I was going to make a project using fastai itself, so, was wondering if I could enter that in this competition.

    Here, I am attaching the webpage describing link b/w PyTorch & fastai library in simple words.
    https://course.fast.ai/#pytorch-and-fastai
    I am pasting the relevant part here:
    "
    PyTorch and fastai:
    We teach how to train PyTorch models using the fastai library. These two pieces of software are deeply connected—you can’t become really proficient at using fastai if you don’t know PyTorch well, too. Therefore, you will often need to refer to the PyTorch docs. And you may also want to check out the PyTorch forums (which also happen to use Discourse). "

    Acc. to me, it should be fine, as using fastai to its full potential does require knowing and using PyTorch. Still, I want to confirm to avoid any last minute surprises. :)

    You are right that I misunderstood the question, however, the answer is the same. I confirmed that you can build using the fatsai library :)
