  • Pytorch

    Tensors and Dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration

  • For example, there is PyTorch which is primarily C++ but has Python bindings. Most people use the Python bindings, same for TensorFlow. JAX is mostly Python, same for scikit-learn.

  • tensorflow

    An Open Source Machine Learning Framework for Everyone

  • For example, there is PyTorch which is primarily C++ but has Python bindings. Most people use the Python bindings, same for TensorFlow. JAX is mostly Python, same for scikit-learn.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • jax

    Composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs: differentiate, vectorize, JIT to GPU/TPU, and more

  • For example, there is PyTorch which is primarily C++ but has Python bindings. Most people use the Python bindings, same for TensorFlow. JAX is mostly Python, same for scikit-learn.

  • scikit-learn

    scikit-learn: machine learning in Python

  • For example, there is PyTorch which is primarily C++ but has Python bindings. Most people use the Python bindings, same for TensorFlow. JAX is mostly Python, same for scikit-learn.
