An open-source deep learning framework for defining, training, and deploying neural networks, with a hybrid imperative/symbolic API (Gluon) and strong multi-GPU scaling.
Its AWS connection
Historically the framework AWS backed most directly; it is a first-class option in the AWS Deep Learning AMIs and Containers and in Amazon SageMaker AI.
See ML Frameworks — the bottom tier of the AI/ML stack, where you own the training environment.
Status
Retired to the Apache Attic in 2023. Mindshare moved to PyTorch and TensorFlow; treat it as legacy unless you inherit an MXNet model.
