Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

I would like to ask whether the tf-keras still plan to publish new releases to the conda-forge channel.

Currently, it appears that recent versions of tf-keras may not be available (or are lagging) on conda-forge, while they are available on PyPI. Many users and organizations rely on conda-forge as their primary package distribution channel — particularly in scientific computing, data science, and enterprise environments where conda environments are the standard.

It would be very helpful to know:

1. Is conda-forge distribution still an officially supported channel for tf-keras?
2. If not, is there a plan to resume publishing to conda-forge in the future?
3. If conda-forge support has been dropped, is there a recommended alternative for conda users? Or PyPI is the only option for now?

Will this change the current API? How?

No API changes are involved.

---

Who will benefit from this feature?

All users who rely on conda or conda-forge as their package manager — particularly those in scientific computing, academia, and enterprise environments where conda is the standard toolchain.
