This is not true, the initial Keras port of the model was done by Divam Gupta who is not affiliated with Keras or Google. He works at Meta.

The benchmark in the article uses mixed precision (and equivalent generation settings) for both implementations, it's a fair benchmark.

In the latest StackOverflow global developer survey, TensorFlow had 50% more users than PyTorch.

Two Keras creators are listed as authors on this post. If they were not involved, this should be specified. I specifically talked about research and StackOverflow is not in any way representative of what's used. Do you disagree that the majority of neural net research papers now only have PyTorch implementations, not TensorFlow? Also, according to Google Trends, PyTorch is more popular: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=pytorch,te.... BTW, I would love it if TF made a strong comeback, it's always better to have two big competing frameworks and I have some issues with PyTorch, including with its performance.

It also doesn't help that PyTorch has its own discussion forum [1] where most pytorch questions end up.
