Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO？Virgo catalogue of gravitationalwave transients (GWTC-1) contains 11 signals from black hole and neutron star binaries, the number of observations is increasing rapidly as detector sensitivity improves. To extract information from the observed signals, it is imperative to have fast, flexible, and scalable inference techniques.
