What is this Python project?
JAX is a machine learning library with a NumPy-like interface designed to run on accelerators such as GPUs and TPUs. Its distinguishing feature are arbitrarily composable function transformations, enabling JIT compilation, higher order gradients, automatic batching, simple multi-device parallelism, and more.
What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
Enumerate comparisons.
- PyTorch: JAX provides higher order gradients, automatic batching, and JIT compilation at higher performance than PyTorch
- TensorFlow: JAX is much simpler and narrower in scope, which means all its components are better integrated, easier to use, and has fewer bugs. It also exclusively leverages the XLA compiler instead of pre-compiled kernels.
