Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so that's super, super exciting.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So one of the really interesting, um, tensions.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So there's a whole bunch of stuff that goes into that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I'll pick a random walk through it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Uh, if you, if you go back and replay the history of machine learning, right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean the brief, the brief, the most recent history of machine learning, because this is, as you know, very deep.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I, I knew Lex when he had an AI podcast.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Um, so, uh, so if you look at just TensorFlow and PyGeorge, which is pretty recent history in the big picture, right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But, uh,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Intense flow is all about graphs.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

PyTorch, I think, pretty unarguably ended up winning.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And why did it win?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Mostly because of usability.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And the usability of PyTorch is, I think, huge.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And I think, again, that's a huge testament to the power of taking abstract, theoretical, technical concepts and bringing it to the masses.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Now, the challenge with what the TensorFlow versus the PyTorch design points was that TensorFlow is kind of difficult to use for researchers, but it was actually pretty good for deployment.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

PyTorch is really good for researchers.
