Eager vs Graph: Two Modes, One Goal

  • Eager execution: ops run immediately (great for debugging).
  • Graph mode: trace Python functions into a static graph for optimizations like kernel fusion, device placement, and parallelism.

Think: sketch first (eager), then commit blueprints for speed (graph). TF 2 encourages eager by default, with optional graph compilation for production.
