Does that mean AWS finally give up on MXNet and turn to embrace PyTorch?
- ChefboyOG 6y agoTorchServe seems to share code with MXNET. I think this is more AWS/Facebook responding to Google's power in ML with TensorFlow/GCP. AWS doesn't have a framework, and Facebook doesn't have a cloud. This gives PyTorch better feature parity with TensorFlow (TorchServe == TF Serving) and gives AWS a point of differentiation from GCP.
- solidasparagus 6y ago> AWS doesn't have a framework They do - it's MXNet. It's just that no one really cares about it.
- ChefboyOG 6y agoYeah, but as you say, MXNet doesn't have the market of PyTorch or TF, and while AWS has deep ties within MXNet, they don't outright control it to the same extent that Google owns TF or Facebook has PyTorch.
- solidasparagus 6y agoIt's an Apache project sure, but AWS employs the vast majority of contributors. I'd say in practice it controls MXNet like G/FB control TF/PT. Although MXNet is a much more community friendly project than TF.
