-# Future Plans
-
-In this first release of VRS for open source, only the core components of VRS
-are provided. We are working on open sourcing more code:
-
-- `pyvrs`: a Python library to work with VRS files in Python.
-- integration with PyTorch, so ML jobs can consume VRS files as training data.
-- tooling to build VRS container files optimized for PyTorch training.
-- video codec compression support.
-- building blocks to implement network streaming.
