Our latest autograd 1.9.0 release contains PR #717 which enables tracing for plain numpy function. This relaxes the strict constraint of using
autograd.numpyfor fits, roots, etc., plainnumpynow works in almost all cases. There is still a performance advantage in usingautograd.numpy, so I would not change the documentation or recommendations but fix the failing tests and broaden the except statements to catch the remaining cases which explicitly requirenumpy.autograd.
