What about keras? Keras was originally billed as the torch API in python, so same API design inspiration. I've used both but generally still use keras because I don't see enough of a difference in pytorch to switch.

Keras uses Theano or Tensorflow as a backend, and has the same restrictions. The graph must be defined, and then computed.

I believe Keras is being made into an open spec that PyTorch could be made to run with.

I LOVE PyTorch for experimenting with dynamic deep neural nets (DNNs) -- that is, DNNs that can have different graphs for different input samples. I find it much, MUCH easier to create and tinker with dynamic DNNs using PyTorch than, say, TensorFlow Fold. PyTorch is great for R&D experimentation. For example, here's how easy it is to construct a fully-connected neural net with a dynamically random number of recurrent…

Have you run anything on multiple-GPUs or scaled to multiple nodes? My biggest hesitation for using pytorch is what appears to be the limited distributed compute support. Being able to easily scale a dynamic graph to arbritrarily large size across a cluster would make pytorch an easy sell for me.

Yes, I used multiple-GPUs every day. It works fine under old version and until now I have no experience for the new version.

Well it was literally added this version: http://pytorch.org/docs/0.2.0/distributed.html Does it meet your needs?

Ooooh this is exciting. Thanks for pointing that out!
