    Excellent news. Hopefully with this release we will be able to lift the remaining limitations of the TensorFlow version of Keras (tensor contraction, float<->bool casting, and RNNs over sequences with arbitrary length). https://github.com/fchollet/keras/wiki/Keras,-now-running-on...

    Congrats to the TensorFlow team!

    FYI, we're building the pip packages today -- we'll send out an announcement to the TensorFlow discussion list and update the website when things are actually done. :)

    "Open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. http://tensorflow.org"

    (hopefully this saves others asking the "what is it?" question some trouble...)

    Does this version support the latest CUDA/CUDNN? I spent hours with the initial release trying to get GPU acceleration working before giving up in frustration (and being a seasoned Arch linux user, I'm not easily discouraged) - I can't remember what ultimately caused me to throw my hands up in defeat but it had to do with the old CUDA version requirement.

    Need OpenCL support. Please don't contribute to maintaining CUDA monopoly.

    Can they make it run on computers that don't have NVIDIA GPUs, like a Mac Book Pro with Intel Iris?

    The link to convnet benchmarks is a 30 day old issue, with numbers that look significantly worse than native CUDNNv2. Are there more up-to-date numbers?

    I'm really looking forward to updated CUDNN and CUDA 7.5 support. My machines are all configured for Theano, and I've been sorta waiting to try TensorFlow until I can install it without downgrading everything, as it was tricky to get things working and I'd rather not reconfigure things I don't have to.

    Thanks for the great work! I had no issues installing and getting it working with my nvidia card, I've been having fun with it whenever I get a chance :)

    I'm running a Tensorflow Google developer group meeting in boulder every couple weeks if any of the authors/contributors is in town and wants to come and say hi to the group we'd love to have you. gdgboulder.github.io

    I can't get the original public release running on Ubuntu 15.04. Obscure install error with no online remedy prescription.

    Python 3 support please

    Anyone got a Dockerfile for this yet? I've no idea what they mean by ./configure

    Cool. I'm still looking forward to when I can run TensorFlow on a Windows machine and harness my GPU.

    Right now I can only run TensorFlow in a Docker container in a VirtualBox Linux virtual machine running in Windows... so I guess there's that!
