PyTorch vs TensorFlow: which should you choose?
PyTorch's dynamic, Pythonic style made it the default for research and rapid experimentation, and its ecosystem now covers production too. TensorFlow offers a mature deployment story across mobile, web, and serving, with strong tooling for large-scale production. Choose PyTorch for research velocity and ergonomics; choose TensorFlow when your priority is end-to-end production deployment.
