Is TensorFlow really that much better than Torch and the others, or is it just the Google brand that gave it the extra juice?

hota_mazi • Nov 10, 2016 • View on HN

Not even a mention of TensorFlow or Torch?

bigdict • Nov 24, 2023 • View on HN

Don't use TF though, go with PyTorch or maybe JAX.

Why do you believe "Tensorflow sucks", and why do you believe PyTorch or Caffe2 is better, and for what metrics?

plumeria • Mar 7, 2024 • View on HN

Where does Tensorflow stand in this?

Ph0X • Oct 25, 2016 • View on HN

How does it compare to TensorFlow?

lazzlazzlazz • Sep 9, 2017 • View on HN

I don't take Tensorflow seriously anymore... PyTorch is the way to go (gotta try caffe2 at some point).

Why would you prefer Pytorch to Tensorflow/Keras?

rubatuga • Nov 18, 2020 • View on HN

Why would I use tensorflow when pytorch exists?

Thanks a bunch! Your support means a lot. I'll take a look at TensorFlow and Keras.
