Google's open-source machine learning framework for building and training AI models.

What creators say

Eric Vishria
mentioned
vs: Contrasted with the Transformer-dominated AI landscape of today

"At that time TensorFlow was dominant, so the first flow was dominant, ResNet was still a thing. The actual ML, the AI looked nothing like it does today."

mentioned
vs: Less preferred than PyTorch by developers

"Google released BERT, and the paper was implemented in Google's TensorFlow framework and people like PyTorch. So the Hugging Face team converted BERT from TensorFlow to PyTorch."

Used for: Training early machine learning models at MIT

"It was at MIT that I started training my first models and played around with TensorFlow, which had just come out that year."

Used for: Open-source deep learning framework contributing to the modern AI ecosystem vs: Mentioned alongside PyTorch (which Jensen rates as more important), Caffe, To...

"If not for TensorFlow or, more importantly, PyTorch — and the early versions of Caffe, Torch, Theano — all of those were open source. If not for all of that, how would we have modern AI?"

mentioned

"They were giving them access to TensorFlow APIs that other defense contractors would be able to use to run just classical machine learning programs"

Ben Thompson

"What they were actually exposing to the government was TensorFlow APIs that would run on Google hardware"
