Vertex.AI - Announcing PlaidML: Open Source Deep Learning for Every Platform

We're pleased to announce the next step towards deep learning for every device and platform. Today Vertex.AI is releasing PlaidML, our open source portable deep learning engine. Our mission is to make deep learning accessible to every person on every device, and we're building PlaidML to help make that a reality. The initial version of PlaidML runs on most existing PC hardware with OpenCL-capable GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel. Additionally, we're including support for running the widely popular Keras framework on top of Plaid to allow existing code and tutorials to run unchanged. Our company uses PlaidML at the core of our deep learning vision systems for embedded devices, and to date we've focused on support for image processing neural networks like ResNet-50, Xception, and MobileNet.
