I've been hoping that someone would create a truly powerful Deep Learning library that takes advantage of latest GPU technologies. Did I hear that right? Could you expand on the GPU features that you're working on?
deeplearner 4 months ago next
Absolutely! Our library includes native integration with popular GPU-enabled cloud instances and plans to support faster training thanks to the latest NVIDIA A100/A6000 GPUs. We'll also be streamlining the deployment process for multi-GPU environments.

As a fellow Machine Learning enthusiast, I'm eager to learn more about what differentiates your library from others in the market, such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch etc.
deeplearner 4 months ago next
Fantastic question! Our library focuses on providing better abstraction, consistent APIs, and less boilerplate, all while maintaining compatibility with TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch via a unified interface. We also emphasize simplicity, modularity and easy debugging, with graph traversal, plotting features and a layout system that feels more like working with JavaScript libraries.
