The things in SynJax aren't neural nets themselves as far as I see poking around, it's a bunch of different [complicated] probability distributions that you might encounter when modeling neural nets or related tasks stochastically. More of a toolbox of components implemented in JAX for advanced statistical modeling inside of a NN. Could also be useful apart from NNs, too.

However, contrary to my expectations after reading that, they do not have lots primitives to mix neural and probabilistic models. They seem to be heading in that direction, with e.g. connectionist temporal classification (CTC). Still very interesting library, seems to provide massive efficiency gains for difficult generative models such as PCFGs.
