TensorFlow

TensorFlow is Google's mature ML framework. In 2025, it is largely in maintenance mode compared to JAX/PyTorch, but remains specific for TFLite and legacy production.

When to Use

• Mobile (TFLite): Deploying to Android/iOS (though LiteRT is separating).
• Legacy Enterprise: Many Fortune 500s still run TFv2 pipelines.
• TFX: Complex MLOps pipelines.
