What Hacker News says?

  1. There are a few categories that I think TensorFlow is notably strong in. Namely: 1. Deployment. 2. Coverage of the library / built-in functionality. 3. Device management. For more details, I wrote a comparison of PyTorch and TensorFlow (mostly from a programmability perspective) a couple months back. Interested readers may find it helpful. https://awni.github.io/pytorch-tensorflow/
