Facebook Manages to Squeeze an AI Into Its Mobile App – WIRED

At the same, the team build a new piece of software designed specifically for executing neural networks with the limited resources available on mobile phones. This AI framework is called Caffe2Go, and according to Facebook, it can execute neural nets in less than 1/20th of a second. Naturally, execution times depend on what models are being executing. But the larger point is that Facebook intends to offer the framework on both iOS and Android devices, intent on building all sorts of AI models that can operate without a tether to the data center. "With anything we can build on the server, we now have a vehicle to ship it on mobile devices--and soon," Schroepfer explains.
