Are you exploring JAX for the first time and feeling overwhelmed by terms like "functional purity," "explicit state," and "jit"? You aren't alone. Moving from traditional object-oriented machine learning (like PyTorch or TensorFlow) to JAX requires a shift in your mental model. In this video, we break down exactly what it means to program in a "functional" world and how that shift unlocks blazing-fast performance and scalability for your models. We cover the constraints of high performance ML: strict rules on how you handle variables, random numbers, and side effects. By the end, you'll…
