JAX is a high-performance numerical computing library with a NumPy-compatible API (jax.numpy) and built-in automatic differentiation (grad, VJP/JVP) for expressing and training models. It uses XLA to JIT-compile and AoT-lower computations, enabling fast execution on CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs, and provides transforms for vectorization and parallelism (vmap, pmap) as well as distributed arrays and shard-based parallelism. The project includes extensive docs and tutorials, supports PyTrees and pseudorandom numbers, and offers extensions such as custom kernels (Pallas) and FFI for advanced researchers and practitioners.

Excerpts where JAX appeared in the AI's answer
JAX is particularly relevant; it supports CPU, GPU and TPU backends and provides compilation, automatic differentiation, batching, and parallelization primitives.
JAX becomes particularly interesting because it is designed around compilation, vectorization, automatic differentiation, and accelerator-oriented computation, including TPU support.
