❤️ Become The AI Epiphany Patreon ❤️ https://www.patreon.com/theaiepiphany 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Join our Discord community 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 https://discord.gg/peBrCpheKE With this video I'm kicking off a series of tutorials on JAX! JAX is a powerful and increasingly more popular ML library built by the Google Research team. The 2 most popular deep learning frameworks built on top of JAX are Haiku (DeepMInd) and Flax (Google Research). In this video I cover the basics as well as the nitty-gritty details of jit, grad, vmap, and various other idiosyncrasies of JAX. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅ JAX GitHub: https://github.com/google/jax ✅ JAX docs: https://jax.readthedocs.io/ ✅ My notebook: https://github.com/gordicaleksa/get-started-with-JAX ✅ Useful video on autodiff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG_nF1awSSY ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⌚️ Timetable: 00:00:00 What is JAX?
