From the Editor: PyTorch vs. TensorFlow

Very often our customers asked about preferred frameworks for deep learning development. From years, TensorFlow has been the undisputed leader in the deep learning framework space with a massive developer community and the support of Google. Frameworks like Keras even make the development of TensorFlow models extremely easy. All those factors have made TensorFlow a favorite of teams starting in their deep learning journey. However, the space has a new challenger.

PyTorch is quickly becoming one of the most popular frameworks in the deep learning space and one that is experiencing rapid adoption of customers and developers. Backed by Facebook, PyTorch is enjoying an energetic community and has been quickly adopted by the data science community given its flexibilities for rapidly prototyping models. Recently, AI powerhouse OpenAI announced that it was switching to PyTorch as its main development framework. Certainly an option to consider.

Now let’s take a look at the core developments in AI research and technology this week:
