Core ML Tools

New this week

What it does

Core ML is Apple's system for running AI models inside apps on its devices. Core ML Tools is a Python package that converts models made with popular tools such as PyTorch, TensorFlow or scikit-learn into Core ML format.

It can also read, edit and optimise Core ML models, and on a Mac check that a converted model gives the right results. The converted model is then added to an app in Xcode.
