Keras 3.10.0

New features

• Add support for weight sharding for saving very large models with model.save(). It is controlled via the max_shard_size argument. Specifying this argument will split your Keras model weight file into chunks of this size at most. Use load_model() to reload the sharded files.
• Add optimizer keras.optimizers.Muon
• Add image preprocessing layer keras.layers.RandomElasticTransform
• Add loss function keras.losses.CategoricalGeneralizedCrossEntropy (with functional version keras.losses.categorical_generalized_cross_entropy)
• Add axis argument to SparseCategoricalCrossentropy
• Add lora_alpha to all LoRA-enabled layers. If set, this parameter scales the low-rank adaptation delta during the forward pass.
• Add activation function keras.activations.sparse_sigmoid
• Add op keras.ops.image.elastic_transform
• Add op keras.ops.angle
• Add op keras.ops.bartlett
• Add op keras.ops.blackman
• Add op keras.ops.hamming
• Add ops keras.ops.view_as_complex, keras.ops.view_as_real

PyTorch backend

• Add cuDNN support for LSTM with the PyTorch backend

TensorFlow backend

• Add tf.RaggedTensor support to Embedding layer
• Add variable-level support for synchronization argument

OpenVINO backend

• Add support for over 50 additional Keras ops in the OpenVINO inference backend!
