PyTorch and Chainer take this approach. CuPy is even designed to be drop-in compatible with Numpy; I don't think there is much support for LAPACK routines at this point though. Doing MATLAB-esque work with tensorflow would require some special tolerance for pain, or would require one to be a masochist.
