What it does
PaddleX bundles more than 200 ready-trained models from Baidu's PaddlePaddle AI toolkit into ready-made pipelines. They cover tasks such as reading text from images, analysing documents, detecting objects and forecasting.
Developers can call a pipeline with a few lines of Python, or train, fine-tune and deploy models using commands or a graphical interface.
It supports many kinds of hardware, including NVIDIA graphics cards and several Chinese AI chips.
