    Chose Pytorch
    TensorFlow without Keras is not a pleasant experience; when using Keras, it is pretty nice, but it feels more opinionated than PyTorch; one is less free, which is not an issue in industrial settings with classic workflow but can be an issue in research settings. JAX is great …

    Chose Pytorch
    Saving and loading Machine/Deep Learning models is very easy with Pytorch. It provides visualization capabilities when combined with Tensorboard, and mathematical operations are highly optimized. Easy to understand for a person who is an expert in Python. It takes significantly …

    Chose Pytorch
    Pytorch is very, very simple compared to TensorFlow. Simple to install, less dependency issues, and very small learning curve. TensorFlow is very much optimised for robust deployment but very complicated to train simple models and play around with the loss functions. It needs a …

    Chose Pytorch
    As I described in previous statements, Pytorch is much better suited than TensorFlow from a software development look. This Pythonic idea was then taken and repeated by all the other frameworks.

    You can get to better performance models by better understanding the deep learning …

    Chose Pytorch
    The syntax of PyTorch is much better in my opinion, and the programming style is more pythonic and easier to use. I also think PyTorch is a lot easier to debug than the competitors I've listed (Caffe2 and TensorFlow). I do like some of the examples given on tensorflows website, …

    They have created Pytorch Lightening on top of Pytorch to make the life of Data Scientists easy so that they can use complex models they need with just a few lines of code, so it's becoming popular. As compared to TensorFlow(Keras), where we can create custom neural networks by just adding layers, it's slightly complicated in Pytorch.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • flexibility
    • Clean code, close to the algorithm.
    • Fast
    • Handles GPUs, multiple GPUs on a single machine, CPUs, and Mac.
    • Versatile, can work efficiently on text/audio/image/tabular datasets.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Since pythonic if developing an app with pytorch as backend the response can be substantially slow and support is less compares to Tensorflow

    The big advantage of PyTorch is how close it is to the algorithm. Oftentimes, it is easier to read Pytorch code than a given paper directly. I particularly like the object-oriented approach in model definition; it makes things very clean and easy to teach to software engineers.

    Pytorch is very, very simple compared to TensorFlow. Simple to install, less dependency issues, and very small learning curve. TensorFlow is very much optimised for robust deployment but very complicated to train simple models and play around with the loss functions. It needs a lot of juggling around with the documentation. The research community also prefers PyTorch, so it becomes easy to find solutions to most of the problems. Keras is very simple and good for learning ML / DL. But when going deep into research or building some product that requires a lot of tweaks and experimentation, Keras is not suitable for that. May be good for proving some hypotheses but not good for rigorous experimentation with complex models.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • The ability to make models as never before
    • Being able to control the bias of models was not done before the arrival of Pytorch in our company
