Known weaknesses

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

1. 01

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   Historical updates have included significant API overhauls that require substantial code adjustments.

2. 02

   Limited documentation for advanced features and customizations

   The official documentation focuses more on basic usage rather than providing comprehensive guides for advanced use cases.

3. 03

   Performance issues with large datasets or complex models

   Training and inference can become slow when dealing with very large datasets or highly complex architectures like Vision Transformers.

What it does well

• Wide range of pretrained models including ResNet, EfficientNet, Vision Transformers

• Comprehensive training scripts for various computer vision tasks

• Regular updates and improvements from the community
