Hi Jeremy!

What is the main difference with Keras+TF, I've only worked with them (still not mastering them), why should I consider fastai?

Thank you!

Possibly addressed in a passage from this post: http://www.fast.ai/2018/10/02/fastai-ai/

> It’s important to understand that these improved results over Keras in no way suggest that Keras isn’t an excellent piece of software. Quite the contrary! If you tried to complete this task with almost any other library, you would need to write far more code, and would be unlikely to see better speed or accuracy than Keras. That’s why we’re showing Keras in this comparison - because we’re admirers of it, and it’s the strongest benchmark we know of!
