It is not uncommon for Keras 3 + JAX to be 3-5x faster than PyTorch models pulled from research repos on GitHub or from Hugging Face. Though the typical figure is more like 30% faster.

KerasCV Segment Anything: Zero-shot Image Segmentation with Prompt Points
By
–
KerasCV now includes a Segment Anything implementation, which enables you to do image segmentation using only "prompt points". No training data needed. With the JAX backend, it runs ~5x faster on GPU than the original PyTorch implementation. Told you JAX was fast. Guide:

AI Coding Assistants: Helpful for Syntax, Limited Beyond That
By
–
Yes, there's an internal tool like that. I use Copilot too though. It's certainly helpful as a syntax shortcut, but if I'm working with a language I know well, I find the benefits to be very limited. The difficult part of programming is developing the mental model, not typing out

No Direct Path from Current AI to Hostile Takeover
By

We can't say with certainty whether AI will ever pose an existential risk to humans given an infinite timeline. But what we *can* say with absolute certainty is that there is no direct path from current technology to a "hostile AI takeover" scenario — whatsoever. Worrying about

If you're going to go that way, you might as well go all the way and implement most of Keras in Rust, with support for loading `.keras` files…

It's a symbiotic relationship: AI doomers need AI hype in order to be taken seriously and be part of the discourse, and AI hypers need AI doom narratives for AI to look momentous and world-altering.

Keras with JAX outperforms PyTorch in speed benchmarks
By
–
I don't know about tinygrad. But Keras with JAX is typically 30% faster than PyTorch, sometimes more. Our SegmentAnything implementation is 5x faster than the original PyTorch version.
