    tf.linalg.cross(
        a, b, name=None
    )

`a` and `b` must be the same shape; they can either be simple 3-element vectors,
or any shape where the innermost dimension is 3. In the latter case, each pair
of corresponding 3-element vectors is cross-multiplied independently.

<br />

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `a` | A `Tensor`. Must be one of the following types: `float32`, `float64`, `int32`, `uint8`, `int16`, `int8`, `int64`, `bfloat16`, `uint16`, `half`, `uint32`, `uint64`. A tensor containing 3-element vectors. |
| `b` | A `Tensor`. Must have the same type as `a`. Another tensor, of same type and shape as `a`. |
| `name` | A name for the operation (optional). |

| ## Returns ||
|---|---|
| A `Tensor`. Has the same type as `a`. ||
