I don&#x27;t see the justification for criticizing &quot;shoehorning Tensorflow to run on a wimpy phone&quot;. Phones today are nearly as powerful or more [1] than laptops. Mobile and laptop processor speeds are outpacing network speeds, so it&#x27;s often faster for a program&#x2F;game to be able to run these tests locally rather than send data to a server. In addition, you might use Tensorflow more for the ease of use and pre-implemented strutures rather than simple speed, like the Python vs C argument, so not all use cases will be for huge data-crunching.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fossbytes.com&#x2F;iphone-6s-is-more-powerful-than-the-new-apple-macbook-test-shows&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fossbytes.com&#x2F;iphone-6s-is-more-powerful-than-the-new...</a>
