When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited activation functions and loss metrics compared to mature frameworks

   Does not support advanced activation functions like Leaky ReLU or loss metrics like F1 Score

2. 02

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Training on large datasets can be slow and resource-intensive, leading to long training times

3. 03

   Small community and limited third-party integrations

   Few active contributors and limited documentation for integrating with other popular libraries or tools

What it does well

• Simplified API for neural network creation and training

• Lightweight library with minimal dependencies

• Supports various activation functions and loss metrics
