Open Source Accelerates Adoption of ML

To support the Machine Intelligence Initiative by Linaro, Arm has donated Arm NN, our open-source network machine learning (ML) software. We believe that open source collaboration with Linaro and other ecosystem partners helps reduce fragmentation and minimizes duplication of efforts. Through this initiative, SoC and NN vendors can continue to differentiate with their key competitive advantage. Learn more about the Linaro Machine Learning Initiative in this video.
