Very good that Pytorch emerged as a serious contender to TF. While TF still provided more production grade tools (TFX, TensorRT, TF serving), Pytorch continue to evolve and hope soon we have a more complete ecosystem

I really like JAX as well: https://github.com/google/jax.
It's younger than PyTorch and TF, but feels cleaner and more expressive. It has a very nice autodiff implementation (based on https://github.com/HIPS/autograd) and performance is comparable to TF in my experience.

It feels like JAX doesn't have any of the high-level APIs that PT/TF/MXNet that are vital for fast prototyping of model architectures. Is that correct?

It has stax, which is a minimal example of how to build a high level library: https://github.com/google/jax/blob/master/jax/experimental/s...
It seems that the JAX developers are focusing their time on making the core framework better and are leaving the task of building high-level APIs to the community for now. I suspect we'll see a few high-level APIs emerge over the next few months that explore different approaches before the community settles on a particular one.

I hope not. That's part of what makes TF so miserable - the core library didn't provide the tooling people actually needed so the community built a ton of different tools and it just made TF confusing to use.
