pip install keras 只装框架本体,必须另装 tensorflow、jax 或 torch 之一作为后端;后端必须在 import keras 前通过 KERAS_BACKEND 或 ~/.keras/keras.json 配置,导入后无法更改;OpenVINO 后端仅支持推理,只能用于 model.predict();各后端有最低版本要求(TensorFlow 2.16.1、JAX 0.4.20、PyTorch 2.6.0、OpenVINO 2026.2.0),且建议每个后端使用独立干净的 Python 环境以避免 CUDA 版本冲突。

Keras 3.12.4
Keras 3.12.4 is a security patch release that hardens dataset loading and model file handling against insecure deserialization and decompression-bomb attacks.
Security Fixes
- Restrict unpickling when loading IMDB and Reuters datasets — Replaces
np.load(allow_pickle=True)with a restricted unpickler that only permits numpy array reconstruction, preventing arbitrary code execution via crafted.npzfiles (CWE-502). (#23047) by @LinZiyuu - Verify all intermediary H5 groups when navigating H5 files — Manually resolves nested H5 group paths to verify group types at each step, preventing potential path traversal. (#23168) by @hertschuh
- Reject decompression-bomb members on the
.kerasasset extraction path — Adds per-member decompression-ratio checks before extracting.kerasarchives to disk, preventing disk-exhaustion attacks via crafted archives. (#23101) by @LinZiyuu - Restrict unpickling when loading CIFAR datasets — Replaces bare
cPickle.loadin CIFAR-10/100 batch loading with the numpy-onlyRestrictedUnpickler, blocking arbitrary code execution via pickle gadgets. (#23252) by @SABITHSAHEB

Keras 3: Deep Learning for Humans
Keras 3 is a multi-backend deep learning framework, with support for JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and OpenVINO (for inference-only). Effortlessly build and train models for computer vision, natural language processing, audio processing, timeseries forecasting, recommender systems, etc.
- Accelerated model development: Ship deep learning solutions faster thanks to the high-level UX of Keras and the availability of easy-to-debug runtimes like PyTorch or JAX eager execution.
- State-of-the-art performance: By picking the backend that is the fastest for your model architecture (often JAX!), leverage speedups ranging from 20% to 350% compared to other frameworks. Benchmark here.
- Datacenter-scale training: Scale confidently from your laptop to large clusters of GPUs or TPUs.
Join nearly three million developers, from burgeoning startups to global enterprises, in harnessing the power of Keras 3.
Installation
Install with pip
Keras 3 is available on PyPI as keras. Note that Keras 2 remains available as the tf-keras package.
- Install
keras:
pip install keras --upgrade
- Install backend package(s).
To use keras, you should also install the backend of choice: tensorflow, jax, or torch. Additionally,
The openvino backend is available with support for model inference only.
- (Optional) Install remote file access support.
To save to and load from Google Cloud Storage (gs:// paths) without TensorFlow, install the gcs extra:
pip install "keras[gcs]"
Local installation
Minimal installation
Keras 3 is compatible with Linux and macOS systems. For Windows users, we recommend using WSL2 to run Keras. To install a local development version:
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run installation command from the root directory.
python pip_build.py --install
- Run API generation script when creating PRs that update
keras_exportpublic APIs:
./shell/api_gen.sh
Backend Compatibility Table
The following table lists the minimum supported versions of each backend for the latest stable release of Keras (v3.x):
| Backend | Minimum Supported Version |
|---|---|
| TensorFlow | 2.16.1 |
| JAX | 0.4.20 |
| PyTorch | 2.6.0 |
| OpenVINO | 2026.2.0 |
Adding GPU support
The requirements.txt file will install a CPU-only version of TensorFlow, JAX, and PyTorch. For GPU support, we also
provide a separate requirements-{backend}-cuda.txt for TensorFlow, JAX, and PyTorch. These install all CUDA
dependencies via pip and expect a NVIDIA driver to be pre-installed. We recommend a clean Python environment for each
backend to avoid CUDA version mismatches. As an example, here is how to create a JAX GPU environment with conda:
conda create -y -n keras-jax python=3.10
conda activate keras-jax
pip install -r requirements-jax-cuda.txt
python pip_build.py --install
Configuring your backend
You can export the environment variable KERAS_BACKEND or you can edit your local config file at ~/.keras/keras.json
to configure your backend. Available backend options are: "tensorflow", "jax", "torch", "openvino". Example:
export KERAS_BACKEND="jax"
In Colab, you can do:
import os
os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "jax"
import keras
Note: The backend must be configured before importing keras, and the backend cannot be changed after
the package has been imported.
Note: The OpenVINO backend is an inference-only backend, meaning it is designed only for running model
predictions using model.predict() method.
Backwards compatibility
Keras 3 is intended to work as a drop-in replacement for tf.keras (when using the TensorFlow backend). Just take your
existing tf.keras code, make sure that your calls to model.save() are using the up-to-date .keras format, and you're
done.
If your tf.keras model does not include custom components, you can start running it on top of JAX or PyTorch immediately.
If it does include custom components (e.g. custom layers or a custom train_step()), it is usually possible to convert it
to a backend-agnostic implementation in just a few minutes.
In addition, Keras models can consume datasets in any format, regardless of the backend you're using:
you can train your models with your existing tf.data.Dataset pipelines or PyTorch DataLoaders.
Why use Keras 3?
- Run your high-level Keras workflows on top of any framework -- benefiting at will from the advantages of each framework, e.g. the scalability and performance of JAX or the production ecosystem options of TensorFlow.
- Write custom components (e.g. layers, models, metrics) that you can use in low-level workflows in any framework.
- You can take a Keras model and train it in a training loop written from scratch in native TF, JAX, or PyTorch.
- You can take a Keras model and use it as part of a PyTorch-native
Moduleor as part of a JAX-native model function.
- Make your ML code future-proof by avoiding framework lock-in.
- As a PyTorch user: get access to power and usability of Keras, at last!
- As a JAX user: get access to a fully-featured, battle-tested, well-documented modeling and training library.
