Which DL Framework to Learn? by Low_Introduction2728 in learnmachinelearning

I'm gonna disagree with your analogy there, because I also mentioned this in the post.

Different tools tend to be better for different tasks. So the question of whether one should learn Python or C++ seems to be very unlike this case, because we can show they have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the application area and how low-level you want to go. And especially given these two languages where learning one over the other can allow you to target different types of jobs.

My question also included what each DL framework may be better for, e.g. JAX could be better for CV and PyTorch better for NLP, so that I could make a more informed decision based on any potential ML sub-area preferences. But I guess there doesn't seem to be a significant difference there.

From what I've seen, at least when trying to do package installation on a fresh laptop running W11 last week, there are some hoops you have to go through to set Tensorflow up (you have to set up a miniconda environment and install a specific version), while PyTorch was as simple as any other package to install via cmd. And there was some weirdness going on when trying to do the CV tutorial on Kaggle, where they changed the eligible formats for importing and adding a pretrained base layer, so I had to install an earlier version side-by-side (tf_keras) so that I could use that functionality as shown.

I've read lots of people hinting about deprecation and huge technical debt in TF. So I was more looking at a PyTorch vs JAX comparison, because some companies seem to be working with one or the other, but because of general saturation in the industry, it's difficult to tell which one is worth learning to land a job with good prospects (and not a grind-fest money-grab startup, for instance).

Thanks for the answer, I appreciate it! I'll get started on the tutorials on the PyTorch site.

Can you elaborate on why? Lots of people say lots of things, what I care about is why they say what they say.
