Does MxNet as a DL framework still have a place given Pytorch/tensorflow pretty much dominated all use cases?Amazon/AWS still “officially” supported it but given its product driven culture it could replace it with whatever framework that move faster and is more demanded by customers. Vendor Lock-in in this case probably won’t work as well since Amazon is not quite a leader in this case

MXNet existed before AWS picked it, and it has a lot of strengths. I’d use it (especially with Gluon) over TF any day. But that said, PyTorch is usually easy to use on AWS... the preference for MXNet seems weak

It existed at CMU, but it seems like even CMU has moved over to PyTorch. I think Amazon just doesn't want to seem like an "also ran" by conceding to one of its competitor's frameworks.
