tensorflow

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries, and community resources that lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML-powered applications.

TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working within the Machine Intelligence team at Google Brain to conduct research in machine learning and neural networks. However, the framework is versatile enough to be used in other areas as well.

TensorFlow provides stable Python and C++ APIs, as well as a non-guaranteed backward compatible API for other languages.

Install

See the TensorFlow install guide for the pip package, to enable GPU support, use a Docker container, and build from source.

To install the current release, which includes support for CUDA-enabled GPU cards (Ubuntu and Windows):

 pip install tensorflow

Other devices (DirectX and MacOS-metal) are supported using Device Plugins.

A smaller CPU-only TensorFlow package is also available:

 pip install tensorflow-cpu

To update TensorFlow to the latest version, add the --upgrade flag to the commands above.

Nightly binaries are available for testing using the tf-nightly and tf-nightly-cpu packages on PyPI.

Try your first TensorFlow program

$ python

>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.add(1, 2).numpy()
3
>>> hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow!')
>>> hello.numpy()
b'Hello, TensorFlow!'

For more examples, see the TensorFlow Tutorials.

Contribution guidelines

If you want to contribute to TensorFlow, be sure to review the Contribution Guidelines. This project adheres to TensorFlow's Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.

We use GitHub Issues for tracking requests and bugs, please see TensorFlow Forum for general questions and discussion, and please direct specific questions to Stack Overflow.

The TensorFlow project strives to abide by generally accepted best practices in open-source software development.

Patching guidelines

Follow these steps to patch a specific version of TensorFlow, for example, to apply fixes to bugs or security vulnerabilities:

• Clone the TensorFlow repository and switch to the appropriate branch for your desired version—for example, r2.8 for version 2.8.
• Apply the desired changes (i.e., cherry-pick them) and resolve any code conflicts.
• Run TensorFlow tests and ensure they pass.
• Build the TensorFlow pip package from source.
