Note the footnote in the paper where evaluations was interrupted by the move to MS Azure. This is relatively old work, and since it's literally GPT-2 but images, it's no surprise they didn't bother to rewrite it in PyTorch. If their next big from-scratch thing (presumably the multimodal GPT-like one-model-to-rule-them-all research I've been looking forward to ever since the TR article) is TensorFlow, then I'll be surprised.
