How does Keras handle backpropagation internally?

Updated May 16, 2026

Short answer

Backpropagation computes gradients of loss w.r.t. weights using automatic differentiation.

Deep explanation

TensorFlow builds a computation graph during forward pass. GradientTape records operations and applies chain rule backward through the graph to compute gradients for each trainable variable.
