TensorFlow is a software library for machine learning and artificial intelligence. It can be used across a range of tasks, but is used mainly for training and inference of neural networks.[3][4] It is one of the most popular deep learning frameworks, alongside others such as PyTorch and PaddlePaddle.[5][6] It is free and open-source software released under the Apache License 2.0.

It was developed by the Google Brain team for Google's internal use in research and production.[7][8][9] The initial version was released under the Apache License 2.0 in 2015.[1][10] Google released an updated version, TensorFlow 2.0, in September 2019.[11]

TensorFlow can be used in a wide variety of programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, C++, and Java,[12] facilitating its use in a range of applications in many sectors.
