Brainstorm is a Python neural network library designed to be fast, flexible, and fun, supporting multiple computing backends. The project has been officially discontinued, with maintainers recommending TensorFlow or Chainer instead.
Use cases
- build and train neural networks in Python
- train deep learning models with multiple backends
- experiment with network architectures
- GPU-accelerated neural network training
When to choose
- studying the design of an older lightweight neural network framework
- maintaining legacy code that already depends on brainstorm
When to avoid
- starting any new deep learning project
- needing active maintenance, community support, or modern features
- requiring state-of-the-art performance
