Which is better tensorflow 1.x or tensorflow 2?


Asked by Wren Graves on Dec 13, 2021 FAQ



TensorFlow : 1.x vs 2 Tensorflow has been developed by Google and was first launched in November 2015. Later, an updated version, or what we call as TensorFlow2.0, was launched in September 2019. This led to the older version being classified as TF1.x and the newer version as TF2.0.
Accordingly,
We’re excited about another major milestone, TensorFlow 2.0. TensorFlow 2.0 will focus on simplicity and ease of use, featuring updates like: Easy model building with Keras and eager execution. Robust model deployment in production on any platform. Powerful experimentation for research.
Moreover, To simplify the migration to TensorFlow 2.0, there will be a conversion tool which updates TensorFlow 1.x Python code to use TensorFlow 2.0 compatible APIs, or flags cases where code cannot be converted automatically.
Similarly,
Tensorflow 2.0: 67 seconds. PyTorch: 12 seconds. PyTorch is over 5 times faster!! That's just for a small, simple model. For one that days a day to train, that would mean with Tensorflow 2.0 it could take days. Huge difference. Big slowdown in iterating; seems to make it practically unusable.
Likewise,
Tensorflow has been developed by Google and was first launched in November 2015. Later, an updated version, or what we call as TensorFlow2.0, was launched in September 2019. This led to the older version being classified as TF1.x and the newer version as TF2.0. TensorFlow was one of the early framework to be developed for builidng neural networks.
