I can tell you about my experience using JAX- a functional Deep Learning framework. My work is full-time PyTorch. I use tflite for hobby work in Edge AI. I really like using PyTorch and the experience is far superior than using TF. But JAX

Well, you can learn about generative models from MOOCs like the ones taught at UMich, Universitat Tubingen, or New York University (taught by Yann LeCun), and can gain knowledge there. You can also watch the fast.ai MOOC titled Deep Learnin
