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 flexible.

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?
