TensorFlow Lite is TensorFlow’s lightweight solution for mobile and embedded devices! TensorFlow has always run on many platforms, from racks of servers to tiny devices, but as the adoption of machine learning models has grown over the last few years, so has the need to deploy them on mobile and embedded devices. TensorFlow Lite enables low-latency inference of on-device machine learning models.

Looking forward to your feedback as you try it out.

Using FlatBuffers, for one?

A few tradeoffs we had to make:

- As mentioned below - flatbuffers makes the startup time faster while trading off some flexibility

- Smaller code size means trading off dependency on some libraries and broader support vs writing more things from scratch more focused on the user cases people care about

Woah this is cool. I’ve been waiting for this since you announced it. I was thinking about benchmarking it against other solutions . What do you think about other similar frameworks like coreml ?
