Reply to comment by BellyDancerUrgot in Does anyone here use newer or custom frameworks aside from TensorFlow, Keras and PyTorch? by ConsciousInsects

I hope PL is better than the Keras situation because I’m very excited about PL and a big reason I started learning PyTorch was to avoid the crutch that is Keras.

Keras is a good tool when getting started imo. But eventually it’s better to switch to PyTorch because it’s more pythonic and although tensorflow used to be the deployment standard PyTorch has caught up and add to that tf doesn’t even have a team working on it anymore iirc since everyone moved onto jax. I will say tho PyTorch can be very frustrating to work on initially because a lot of the internal optimizations that keras does are absent in PyTorch. I’ve never used PL tho.

Wow no one working on tf that’s crazy I didn’t know that!

I found PL helped reduce boilerplate code while still giving the niceties of torch versus tf.

The main thing I like is that it abstracts the training loops while still giving you the ability to add custom code to any part of the training loop. This likely sounds weird, but check out their page. 12/10 recommend.
