Facebook and Microsoft introduce ecosystem for interchangeable AI frameworks
Translation from corporatespeak: "Our AI frameworks are losing developer mindshare to TensorFlow, which is controlled by Google, so we are joining forces."Corporations like Facebook and Microsoft do not like interoperability... until and unless it's in their best interest.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.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.We all benefit from more interoperability.
