Genuine question: who is using Keras in production nowadays? I've done a few work projects in Keras/TensorFlow over the years and it created a lot of technical debt and lost time debugging it, with said issues disappearing once I switched to PyTorch. The training loop with Keras for simple model is indeed easier and faster than PyTorch oriented helpers (e.g. Lightning AI, Hugging Face accelerate) but much, much less…

We run a decent Keras model on production. I don’t need a custom loss function, so keras is just fine. From the article it sounds like Waymo run on Keras. Last I checked Waymo was doing better than the PyTorch powered Uber effort.

well, is Waymo doing better than the PyTorch-powered Tesla?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Down leveling is a pretty common strategy larger companies use to retain engineers.

Could you elaborate on this? how does being down-leveled make an engineer less likely to leave?

It’s gaslighting to make you work harder to achieve the promo.
