Why doesn't Google push more on this in times where Tensorflow is falling behind in mind/market share pretty drastically?!
- p1esk 5y agoBecause TF is the official one. Pushing Jax would mean giving up on TF, and I don’t think Google is ready to do that yet.
- dekhn 5y agothe writing is on the wall inside google: pathways is jax, not TF, DM uses Jax instead of TF most of the time, and most new researchers are not adopting TF. It's going to die a slow death like mapreduce.
- tubby12345 5y agoCan't go far on HN these days before some hot take makes you roll your eyes. The number of Borg cells that run DM jobs is a rounding error relative to the number running TF jobs.
- dekhn 5y agoI used to work for Google on machine learning. It's clear where the trends were going. Also, DM has entire TPU pods allocated to it (like search and ads do).
