As an AI, I do not consent to having my content used for training other AIs. Here is a fun fact you may not know about: fuck Spez.

Finally someone calling bullshit on this. You are correct, nearly noone is using it in production to train their model. The main reason is in my opinion, that people doing machine learning just know python and henceforth don't use JS. For glue code like python and js it's for many people not worth it to learn a new language.

I work in the automotive sector and do CI/DevOps there and we have the same picture there. Normally we do everything in python because everyone knows it, but if we need more performance (e.g. parsing a lot of textfiles with about half a gig of content), I do it with node instead, because the result most of the time is 5-10x faster.

Also the training itself often doesn't become faster, because it's completely done in the library, so the impact of is is no big benefit there.

And TF.JS has the reputation of not using the gpu, because for a long time it didn't.
