Congratulations to the TensorFlow team on this massive step!<p>It&#x27;s also hilarious that using distributed TensorFlow in Keras is a trivial change[1]. I honestly think high level libraries with transparent backends will be the future in the same way that cross compilation is the rule not the exception for compilers.<p>What&#x27;s most impressive to me is that Google are incrementally open sourcing large parts of their internal infrastructure. Protocol Buffers, gRPC, Kubernetes, TensorFlow ... Given how cross dependent many of their internal dependencies likely are, extricating them is a major achievement.<p>Most importantly, it seems the more that&#x27;s extricated, the easier it is to release more.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;fchollet&#x2F;status&#x2F;703268754105376768" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;fchollet&#x2F;status&#x2F;703268754105376768</a>
