**TLDR:** A modern activation function noted for its smooth shape and internally regular gradient behavior.

<p>Mish has emerged as a strong alternative in some deep learning tasks because of its nonlinear yet smooth behavior. It has been studied for its potential to make gradient flow smoother and to enrich learned representations. It may not outperform standard choices in every problem, but it is important for showing how subtle activation design can influence performance. It is one of the more interesting products of modern activation research.</p>
