Well, it looks way more scalable than Theano or Torch while being as easy to use as Theano. I'd say that's pretty exciting considering the number of groups working on way lower-level scalable neural nets.

This is "not a game-changer" in the same way map-reduce isn't a game-changer wrt for loops.

Also check out TensorBoard, their visualization tool (animation halfway down the page):

Only the single machine version is open sourced.

At the moment. They are working on making the distributed version available too.

Hope to make the distributed version available. That's not a promise. Google outsourced Blaze, their distributed build system, as Bazel earlier this year. However, no sign of a distributed version there yet. As a result, Bazel has had almost no adoption.
