Facebook and Microsoft introduce ecosystem for interchangeable AI frameworks
Translation from <i>corporatespeak</i>: "Our AI frameworks are losing developer mindshare to TensorFlow, which is controlled by Google, so we are joining forces."<p>Corporations like Facebook and Microsoft do not like interoperability... until and unless it's in their best interest.<p>The goal here is to make AI frameworks easily interchangeable: build your model with whatever framework you like; it will run unchanged on all other frameworks/platforms/stacks.<p>Regardless of the motivations, I actually think this is GREAT NEWS, and I hope that Amazon and maybe Apple, and eventually hopefully Google too will introduce and promote compatibility with this standard.<p>We all benefit from more interoperability.
