September Machine Learning Updates

Posted by the TensorFlow team

in Shanghai, China, members of Google’s open-source ML teams will be on stage to talk about updates to our in Google Play services. With this, the TensorFlow Lite runtime is automatically managed and updated by Google Play services, meaning you no longer need to ship it as part of your application. Your apps get smaller, and you get regular updates in the background, so your users will always have the latest version. This is nice for you as an app developer, because your user will get updates and bug fixes to the framework automatically, reducing the burden on you to provide them. And TensorFlow Lite in Google Play Services is production ready, already running over 100 billion daily inferences.

Tensor Projects

At Google, we are creating a world-class family of ML tools across all hardware and device types. Because we are committed to building tools that are fit for purpose, from cutting-edge research to tried-and-true planet-scale deployments, we are sharing our vision of an open ML ecosystem of the future: Tensor Projects.

Tensor Projects is an ecosystem of ML technologies and platforms that bring together Google’s ML tools, and organize efforts across our world-class engineering and research teams. It creates a space and a promise of continued innovation and support to enable researchers, developers, MLOps, and business teams to build responsible and cutting edge ML, from novel model development to scaled production ML in any data center or on any device.

These tools, like TensorFlow, Keras, JAX, and MediaPipe Studio, will work well independently, with each other, and/or with other industry-leading tools and standards. We want to give you full flexibility and choice to build powerful, performant infrastructure for all of your ML use cases. And it’s just the beginning. Tensor Projects will evolve and grow as ML continues to advance. Watch the summary video here:
