Google is set to launch Tensorflow Lite, a deep-learning, artificial intelligence (AI) tool optimised for mobile phones. Released later this year as part of the open-source Tensorflow project, Tensorflow Lite will allow developers to run AI apps on users' phones in real time. The company has also announced that it plans to release an Android app called Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), which can be used by developers and researchers alike to build applications with deep learning capabilities.

Released later this year as part of the open-source Tensorflow project, Tensorflow Lite will allow developers to run AI apps on users' phones in real time. The move means Google could save processing time and power by sidestepping the use of servers from software-as-a-service providers, and follows the November 2016 release of Facebook's system Caffe2Go.
