any reason why you wouldn't use tf eager?

  tf.eager is much slower than pytorch.

    this is a strong claim. what is your source for this? I'm legitimately curious.

      No hard benchmarks, just personal experience. Note that I’m not saying regular Tensorflow is slower than pytorch (in fact I’ve found them to be roughly the same) just eager mode. Edit: Just realized this might be a good thing to write a blog post about. I’ll get back to you after finals :)

        I'm genuinely interested if you ever do write that blog post

          Update: other people have already scooped me: https://medium.com/@yaroslavvb/tensorflow-meets-pytorch-with-eager-mode-714cce161e6c https://medium.com/@yaroslavvb/tensorflow-meets-pytorch-with... I've seen similar performance regressions on my own tasks and I don't have much to add beyond what's in that blog post.
