Reply to comment by thedarklord176 in Wouldn’t it be a good idea to bring a more energy efficient language into the ML world to reduce the insane costs a bit?[D] by thedarklord176

All the computation is happening on the GPU. Python is just making a bunch of calls to the GPU drivers.

Researchers spend a lot of time making neural networks as fast as possible. If switching to another language would have given a substantial speed boost, they would have done it already.
