Problem solved
Keras was created to address the significant barrier to entry in deep learning development at a time when underlying frameworks like Theano and early TensorFlow required verbose, low-level code for common tasks. It aimed to provide a user-friendly, highly modular, and extensible interface for building and experimenting with neural networks, enabling faster iteration and reducing the cognitive load for developers.
