As long as you're citing @karpathy, "I've been using PyTorch a few months now and I've never felt better. I have more energy. My skin is clearer. My eye sight has improved." (https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/868178954032513024).
My two cents as a researcher who has used theano, caffe, pytorch and TF: they all have their pros and cons. After starting out with theano, I really appreciate the dynamic nature of pytorch: makes debugging and exploration easier compared to the static frameworks. Researchers tend to value these features over deployability, scalability and raw speed (though pytorch is no slouch). So I fully expect pytorch to get a lot of momentum in the near future.
