Is Keras actually sponsored by Google as the article suggests? I know, Chollet works at Google but the fact that the creator of X works at Y doesn't make X "sponsored by Y"

He mentioned a few times recently that Keras will get pulled into tensorflow.

Thanks, I had missed that tweet

I was googling that and it seems Chollet also confirmed that in a Reddit comment:

If you maintain a large open source project during work hours then that arguably is "sponsorship". Looking at the Keras commit log it seems he pushes frequently.

Thanks, I was assuming it was a side project for him.
