Object Explorer for PyTorch Tensors

[howardbaik]

I am obsessed with Positron and follow the latest changes. This one by @jmcphers caught my eye, since I work with PyTorch tensors: #16478.

I could try the dailies to see whether the new Object Explorer handles PyTorch tensors, but I’ll probably wait for the 2026.11 release. In the meantime, does anyone know if the Object Explorer works with PyTorch tensors, given that they’re similar to NumPy ndarrays?

If the Object Explorer doesn't support PyTorch tensors, could it? #16478 says the Object Explorer supports "Python dicts, lists, and JSON files". Since PyTorch tensors can be represented as nested lists, I’m wondering whether they’d be supported too.

It does support them, but currently the Variables pane doesn't offer a shortcut to view them. You can open them in the Object Explorer by using the %view magic in the console, e.g.:

Thank you for the quick response!
