You can update to TensorFlow 2.10.0 or TensorFlow 2.9.1 if you are running TensorFlow 2.8.1 or TensorFlow 2.7.2. However, note that TensorFlow 2.10.0 is not backwards compatible. This means your TensorFlow code will not run on TensorFlow 2.9.1 or TensorFlow 2.8.1. TensorFlow 2.8.1 and TensorFlow 2.7.2 will not run your code on TensorFlow 2.10.0. If you are running one of these versions and have a nontrivial amount of TensorFlow code, you should upgrade to TensorFlow 2.10.0. Note that TensorFlow does not currently have a TensorFlow 2.9.1 equivalent.

Install TensorFlow 2.10.0

To install TensorFlow 2.10.0, you will need to uninstall TensorFlow 2.9.1 and TensorFlow 2.8.1 on your system first:

sudo pip uninstall tensorflow-2.9
sudo pip uninstall tensorflow-2.8
sudo pip uninstall tensorflow-2.7
Once the installation is complete, you can upgrade to TensorFlow 2.10 or later:

pip3 install tensorflow==2.10

Installing TensorFlow 2.10.0 on Linux

What is TensorFlow?

TensorFlow is an open source software library developed by the Google Brain Team that primarily supports dataflow programming. The main focus of TensorFlow is to be flexible and scalable. It has a broad range of software applications, including predictive analytics, machine learning, and deep learning.
With TensorFlow, you can build neural networks in a flexible way using Python or C++ code. With it, you can also apply deep learning with layers as well as traditional computer vision tasks like object detection and segmentation. TensorFlow comes with many built-in algorithms for image classification and related challenges like image classification that are optimized for speed and accuracy.

Installing TensorFlow 2.10.0

To upgrade to TensorFlow 2.10.0, you must install the following TensorFlow package:

# pip install --upgrade tensorflow-2.10.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl
Note: TensorFlow 2.10.0 is not backwards compatible with TensorFlow 2.9.1 or earlier, and will not run your code on TensorFlow 2.9.1 or earlier if you try to execute it with one of these versions of the installation package (TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2).

What is changing in TensorFlow 2.10.0?

TensorFlow 2.10.0 includes a number of changes that improve TensorFlow’s overall performance, scalability, and usability:
- Improved performance of the baseline linear model
- Improvements in GPU support
- Improvements to the integration with Keras
- Ability to use tf.data API in native Python code
