The tradeoff is that JAX intentionally has a relatively narrow core, with neural-network and optimization functionality supplied by surrounding projects such as Flax and Optax.
Optax is a gradient processing and optimization library for JAX designed to facilitate research by providing building blocks that can be easily recombined into custom optimizers or other gradient-processing components. It focuses on simple, well-tested, efficient core components and prioritizes readability and straightforward composition of low-level ingredients into custom solutions. The library includes many optimizers and loss functions (e.g., Adam, l2_loss) and can be installed from PyPI or GitHub; it originated from JAX's experimental area and was later released as a standalone open-source project.
