Is it fast/efficient enough on common hw ? We are not really doing cutting edge or research stuff. Just developing a big dumb resnet and hoping to scale up to 10s of GPUs over 2019. I was really happy to read a comment here about how this framework was used to reproduce a 6 month project in 2 weeks :)

It's very fast indeed: http://www.fast.ai/2018/08/10/fastai-diu-imagenet/

For inference, new features being announced today at the conference will help a lot too.

Will serving be as fast as TensorFlow? I assume PyTorch's dynamic network is inherently slower than TensorFlow's compute graph approach
