Keras 3.4.0

Highlights

• Add support for arbitrary, deeply nested input/output structures in Functional models (e.g. dicts of dicts of lists of inputs or outputs...)
• Add support for optional Functional inputs.
• Introduce keras.dtype_policies.DTypePolicyMap for easy configuration of dtype policies of nested sublayers of a subclassed layer/model.
• New ops:
  • keras.ops.argpartition
  • keras.ops.scan
  • keras.ops.lstsq
  • keras.ops.switch
  • keras.ops.dtype
  • keras.ops.map
  • keras.ops.image.rgb_to_hsv
  • keras.ops.image.hsv_to_rgb
