There are lies, damned lies and statistics. Looks like the entire article is premised on a single StackOverflow trends chart (really, everything else is opinion). For an alternate set of data points here is Francois Chollet)

Just FYI, fchollet is also one of the creators of Keras/TF, so it's hardly an unbiased data point.


I can't say good things about Chollet, so I will refrain from saying anything.

Another thing he likes to shout about is pip installs. PyTorch suggests and sets to default conda. Everyone gets PyTorch via conda.

Chollet occasionally shouts about pip install numbers of PT vs. TF on Twitter and thus TF being superior.


Is the data incorrect or somehow misleading? If the answer is no to both of these then your point is irrelevant.


Sure, he maybe unbiased but why do you say his data is unbiased. He is in fact showing other stackoverflow data points not just one cherry picked one like the article posted (and lot of opinion about what is going on).


Another data point that PyTorch overtook TF: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=...
