Apache MXNet

<p>Apache MXNet is an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> <a href="/facts/Deep_learning/JLuwD3ea">deep learning</a> <a href="/facts/AI_software/lJGauQwX">software</a> <a href="/facts/Software_framework/EWasA8sG">framework</a> that trains and deploys <a href="/facts/Deep_neural_network/JLuwD3ea">deep neural networks</a>. It aims to be scalable, allows fast <a href="/facts/Training%2c_test%2c_and_validation_sets/V3mMQb2G">model training</a>, and supports a flexible <a href="/facts/Programming_model/XhNua0XG">programming model</a> and multiple <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming languages</a> . The MXNet <a href="/facts/Library_(computing)/xRzL3P7q">library</a> is <a href="/facts/Software_portability/tWKVGCBb">portable</a> and can <a href="/facts/Scalability/jh7JomPa">scale</a> to multiple <a href="/facts/Graphics_processing_unit/PTK1RQVp">GPUs</a> and machines. It was co-developed by <a href="/facts/Carlos_Guestrin/A56eJoMp">Carlos Guestrin</a> at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Washington/36PG6qkG">University of Washington</a>, along with GraphLab.
</p><p>As of September 2023, it is no longer actively developed. Apache MXNet was effectively abandoned due to a combination of factors including lack of significant contributions, outdated builds, and a shift in focus by its major backer, Amazon, towards other frameworks like PyTorch. The project saw no new releases for over a year, and there were very few pull requests or updates from contributors, leading to its move to the Apache Attic in 2023. Additionally, the community began migrating to other frameworks that offered more robust support and development activity.
