#2Hey! I work at Xmartlabs and we have built Bender: a library to build and run Neural Networks on iOS.
As it uses Metal under the hood, it takes advantage of the device GPU, so it runs fast and supports real-time applications.
It also allows to run TensorFlow models, so it should be easy to run your existing model.
If you guys could provide feedback, it would be cool!

If it meets the guidelines, this might make a good 'Show HN'. Show HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

How does tie in with CoreML that was announced today, which also uses Metal under the hood and supports models built with Tensorflow/Keras and the likes.

At the risk of directly quoting Apple's website -
> Running strictly on the device ensures the privacy of user data and guarantees that your app remains functional and responsive when a network connection is unavailable.

To warm your hands up

I dont know much about parallel or distributed computing but here's an idea.
If this framework supports multi gpus with data parallelisem, model parallelisem or some hybrid and you can entice people to download ir by packaging it over a game or visualization layer a la Folding@Home, youd essentially have it running at a very large scale without having to pay for any compute power

#9Looks like a cool project! Any chance you Urban Dictionary'd the name?
