Hi all, another author here and happy to answer any questions!

Paper: https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2020/file/9332c513ef44b...

Basically the long story short is that Enzyme has a couple of interesting contributions:

1) Low-level Automatic Differentiation (AD) IS possible and can be high performance

2) By working at LLVM we get cross-language and cross-platform AD

3) Working at the LLVM level actually can give more speedups (since it's able to be performed after optimization)

4) We made a plugin for PyTorch/TF that uses Enzyme to import foreign code into those frameworks with ease!
