+The future of PyMC3 & Theano
+============================
+
+There have been many questions and uncertainty around the future of PyMC3 since Theano
+stopped getting developed by the original authors, and we started experiments with PyMC4.
+
+We are happy to announce that PyMC3 on Theano (which we are `developing further <https://github.com/pymc-devs/Theano-PyMC>`__)
+with a new JAX backend is the future. PyMC4 will not be developed further.
+
+See the `full announcement <https://pymc-devs.medium.com/the-future-of-pymc3-or-theano-is-dead-long-live-theano-d8005f8a0e9b>`__
+for more details.
