Deep learning frameworks provide foundational libraries, automatic differentiation engines, and tensor computation tools for constructing and training neural networks. They are primarily used by machine learning engineers, systems developers, and researchers seeking lightweight, performant, or specialized model architectures. Unlike high-level AI applications or end-to-end MLOps platforms, these tools operate at the foundational runtime level to manage low-level execution backends and mathematical primitives.
