You can do exactly the same with PyTorch, what’s gained by using Taichi here?

Same question here (just curious, though). PyTorch mainly targets ML applications, while Taichi targets general high-performance numerical computation. Thus, PyTorch is mostly always the go-to option.

Look at OPs name

PyTorch and Taichi are not really competitors. Both can be combined to make some tasks simpler. (That's why I said I was curious)

You're right that Taichi is for general numerical computations. We just wanted to explore the possibility of making a CNN in Taichi - it's easier to do with Pytorch for sure, but I guess that kind of "uselessness" is part of the purpose of a "Hackathon" www
Also, check out this blog for more detailed comparison: https://docs.taichi-lang.org/blog/taichi_vs_torch_01

Shot in the dark, but it looks like the project was for a Taichi Hackathon, so that probably played a large role in the software choice.
