Same here. I started my PhD with the full intention of doing most of my research with Julia (via Flux[0]), and while things worked well enough there were a few things which made it challenging:

- Lack of multi-GPU support,

- some other weird bugs related to autograd which i never fully figured out,

- and the killer one: none of my coauthors used Julia, so I decided to just go with PyTorch.

PyTorch has been just fine, and it's nice to not have to reinvent to wheel for every new model architecture.

This was exactly my experience too
yeah. unless Julia has some killer framework with massive investment, it's hard to see 99.99% of cases moving to Julia. No point really.
