what's the difference between “import keras” and “import tensorflow.keras”

Question

I was wondering, what\'s the difference between importing keras from tensorflow using import tensorflow.keras or just pip installing keras alone and importing i

Answer 1

Tensorflow.keras is an version of Keras API implemented specifically for use with Tensorflow. It is a part of Tensorflow repo and from TF version 2.0 will become main high level API replacing tf.layers and slim.

The only reason to use standalone keras is to maintain framework-agnostic code, i.e. use it with another backend.
