Regarding Version compatibility

Posted on November 16, 2024

While following your tutorial, I noticed that the Keras and Python versions need to be compatible with TensorFlow 1.14. Could you specify the exact versions you’re using for training?

Hi there,

Would you mind confirming which tutorial exactly are you referring to?

I can then forward your feedback to the team.

Heya,

To ensure compatibility with TensorFlow 1.14, the versions of Python and Keras must align with the requirements of TensorFlow. Here’s a breakdown:

TensorFlow 1.14 Compatibility

  1. Python Version:

    • TensorFlow 1.14 officially supports Python 3.5 and Python 3.6. Using Python 3.7 or later might cause compatibility issues.
  2. Keras Version:

    • TensorFlow 1.14 ships with a built-in version of Keras (tf.keras) but is compatible with standalone Keras versions up to 2.2.5.
    • It’s recommended to use Keras 2.2.x to avoid API conflicts.
  • Python: 3.5 or 3.6
  • TensorFlow: 1.14.0
  • Keras: 2.2.4 or 2.2.5

Installation Commands

Here’s how you can set up a compatible environment:

# Create and activate a virtual environment (optional but recommended)
python3.6 -m venv tf_env
source tf_env/bin/activate

# Install TensorFlow 1.14
pip install tensorflow==1.14.0

# Install Keras 2.2.5
pip install keras==2.2.5`

Additional Notes

  • If you are using TensorFlow’s built-in Keras (tf.keras), no additional Keras installation is required.
  • For GPU support, install tensorflow-gpu==1.14.0 and ensure compatible CUDA (10.0) and cuDNN (7.4) versions are installed.
