Keras
Added 1 June 2026
Overview
Keras is a Python deep learning API that runs on top of TensorFlow, providing a high-level interface for building and training neural networks. It abstracts away low-level tensor operations, letting developers define models through simple, readable code. Keras handles both sequential and complex architectures with minimal boilerplate.
