Senior ML Engineer's First Impressions of JAX: A Different Way to Compute
A senior ML engineer shares their initial experience learning JAX, noting its NumPy-like syntax but fundamentally different approach to numerical computing. JAX runs on GPU/TPU automatically and offers automatic differentiation as a function transformer. The engineer highlights three superpowers: accelerator-agnostic execution, grad as a standalone function, and functional purity.
