Chainer is a Python-based deep learning framework aiming at flexibility. It provides automatic differentiation APIs based on the define-by-run approach (a.k.a. dynamic computational graphs) as well as object-oriented high-level APIs to build and train neural networks. It also supports CUDA/cuDNN using CuPy for high performance training and inference. For more details about Chainer, see the documents and resources listed above and join the community in Forum, Slack, and Twitter.
Stable version
The stable version of current Chainer is separated in here: v6.
Installation
For more details, see the installation guide.
To install Chainer, use pip.
$ pip install chainer
To enable CUDA support, CuPy is required. Refer to the CuPy installation guide.
Docker image
We are providing the official Docker image. This image supports nvidia-docker. Login to the environment with the following command, and run the Python interpreter to use Chainer with CUDA and cuDNN support.
$ nvidia-docker run -it chainer/chainer /bin/bash
