TensorFlow is an open-source, end-to-end machine learning platform with stable Python and C++ APIs, originally developed within Google Brain. With the 2.21 release in March 2026, Google said it would limit TensorFlow work to security and bug fixes, dependency updates, and community contributions, and pointed new generative AI work to Keras 3, JAX, and PyTorch.127
