Why?

Well, you could read the article :^)

As a summary, though:

PyTorch has become dominant in research because of its API (both its stability + having eager mode).

TF has become dominant in industry because A. it came out several years before PyTorch and industry is slow to move, B. It supported a lot of production use cases (mobile, serving, removing Python overhead) that PyTorch didn't for a long time.

well, for one pytorch added the python overhead over an otherwise very clean lua jit

I think tensorflow dominates industry purely because of its capability of exporting the model into a coreml Android model or easy of moving it to production in a GCP environment or in whatever form. Pytorch might have to build a good production pipeline around it to catch up in this game.

With fastai module that's built on Pytorch learning and developing Deep Learning solutions have become a lot easier. So there's a real game on now
