TensorFlow was initially developed by the Google Brain team to be used internally at Google, and was then to be released to the larger public. On November 9, 2015, it was distributed under the Apache 2.0 open source license, and since then it has become the most widespread open source software library for high-performance numerical computation (mostly used for deep learning). It is capable of computations across a variety of platforms (systems with multiple CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs), and from desktops to clusters of servers to mobile and edge devices.
In this book, we will use TensorFlow as the backend of Keras, that is, we won't use it directly, but we will need to have it running on our system:
