Google ML Drift Accelerates On-Device AI Inference Across Diverse GPUs
Google has released ML Drift, an open-source, cross-platform GPU compute engine designed for on-device AI and machine learning inference. Licensed under Apache 2.0, it abstracts the complexities of different GPU hardware and low-level APIs, supporting OpenGL ES, OpenCL, Metal, and WebGPU. By Sergio De Simone
Google has introduced ML Drift, an open-source cross-platform GPU compute engine aimed at enhancing on-device AI and machine learning inference across diverse GPU hardware. This initiative simplifies the complexities associated with different GPU architectures and low-level APIs, enabling developers to build custom graphics and inference runtimes for a wide range of applications, from traditional computer vision to generative AI.
By abstracting these complexities, ML Drift seeks to establish a new standard for portability and performance, offering stability for conventional machine learning tasks and peak performance for advanced generative AI models.
