Borscht is a sour soup with meat from Eastern Europe, most often associated with the variant originating in Ukraine with red beetroots . It’s a permutation-like pun on torch, given how the deep learning framework borscht aims to be a rough subset of torch. You want a torch.Tensor? You get the borscht.Tensor!
