Google has announced a new mobile ML stack, dubbed Android ML Platform and built around TensorFlow Lite, which aims to solve a number of problems that developers find when using on-device machine learning. The real announcement behind the Android ML Platform is that its foundation, TensorFlow Lite, will become available on all Android devices supporting Google Play Services. This means it will become part of the backbone that powers the Android platform. Goggle's and third-party apps will thus not need to bundle it anymore in their packages and developers can take the availability of its API for granted. This will reduce overall device storage usage, since TensorFlow Lite will be shared by all apps.
