Meta AI Open Sources Flashlight: Fast and Flexible Machine Learning Toolkit in C++

While deep learning and machine learning ML frameworks perform well, customizing their underlying components has always been challenging. Low-level internals can be mistakenly obfuscated, closed-source, or hand-tuned for specific purposes, making it difficult and time-consuming to find the proper code to alter. To fuel ground-breaking research, FAIR developed Flashlight, a new open-source machine learning (ML) toolkit based in C that allows teams to quickly and efficiently change deep and ML frameworks to better suit their needs. Flashlight was built from the ground up to be fully adjustable by the user. It's easy to use because it includes the fundamental elements of a study environment.
