#2Seems like it was hastily launched to coincide with Google's?
I guess now we have platform wars even on something so niche...

Not sure I agree with "hastily launched". First public commit to the github repo was January 14th 2014.
Link: https://github.com/Samsung/veles/commit/7b19147069119399c89f...
The presumption that this or Google's Tensor Flow can be cobbled together in a few hours is completely absurd. These things take months if not years of development. And releasing them into the wild is not a process that takes 30 minutes. Open Sourcing a company library is a work intensive process that takes weeks if not months. Beyond the code itself there are a swatch of promotional materials to prepare.
That said, I do agree that the submission itself to HN was in response to Google's Tensor Flow announcement. The submitter created their acct an hour ago and the only other activity is a comment on the google announcement talking about veles.
Also the submission title was unnecessarily snarky.

FWIW someone with the same username is listed as the #1 contributor: https://github.com/Samsung/veles/graphs/contributors

Not sure where you're getting this, it clearly says it's licensed Apache 2.0
Edit: Ah I see, in the footer they mention that the code of the website is released under CC-BY-SA. The code of the project is Apache though.

I'm an idiot... Randomly read the website footer and misinterpreted "This web site is copyright © Vadim Markovtsev, it's code is released under CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported at GitHub."
Sorry.

eh, it's a topical post and let's others know there's more to this space than Google's offering. I don't mind it. Would you rather they have not posted?

#9At least it looks like it supports OpenCL

We changed the title from "Veles – same as TensorFlow, but from Samsung", which was inappropriately editorialized. Unless an original title is misleading or linkbait, submitters should use it.
