Same question here (just curious, though). PyTorch mainly targets ML applications, while Taichi targets general high-performance numerical computation. Thus, PyTorch is mostly always the go-to option.

PyTorch and Taichi are not really competitors. Both can be combined to make some tasks simpler. (That's why I said I was curious)

You're right that Taichi is for general numerical computations. We just wanted to explore the possibility of making a CNN in Taichi - it's easier to do with Pytorch for sure, but I guess that kind of "uselessness" is part of the purpose of a "Hackathon" www
