TensorFlow makes it easy for beginners and experts to create machine learning models. See the sections below to get started.
The best place to start is with the user-friendly Sequential API. You can create models by plugging together building blocks. Run the “Hello World” example below, then visit the tutorials to learn more.
import tensorflow as tf
mnist = tf.keras.datasets.mnist
(x_train, y_train),(x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()
x_train, x_test = x_train / 255.0, x_test / 255.0
model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
tf.keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28, 28)),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(128, activation='relu'),
tf.keras.layers.Dropout(0.2),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])
model.compile(optimizer='adam',
loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=5)
model.evaluate(x_test, y_test)
The Subclassing API provides a define-by-run interface for advanced research. Create a class for your model, then write the forward pass imperatively. Easily author custom layers, activations, and training loops. Run the “Hello World” example below, then visit the tutorials to learn more.
class MyModel(tf.keras.Model):
def __init__(self):
super(MyModel, self).__init__()
self.conv1 = Conv2D(32, 3, activation='relu')
self.flatten = Flatten()
self.d1 = Dense(128, activation='relu')
self.d2 = Dense(10, activation='softmax')
def call(self, x):
x = self.conv1(x)
x = self.flatten(x)
x = self.d1(x)
return self.d2(x)
model = MyModel()
with tf.GradientTape() as tape:
logits = model(images)
loss_value = loss(logits, labels)
grads = tape.gradient(loss_value, model.trainable_variables)
optimizer.apply_gradients(zip(grads, model.trainable_variables))

TensorFlow 2 will include many API changes, such as reordering arguments, renaming symbols, and changing default values for parameters. To streamline the changes, the TensorFlow engineering team has created a tf_upgrade_v2 utility that will help transition legacy code to the new API.
Understand new user-friendly APIs for beginners and experts through code examples, and understand the Keras Sequential, Functional, and Subclassing APIs for your projects.
