They mentioned previously that you had to compile your models on the cloud, and not locally on your computer. Not sure if they've changed this policy.
- aseipp 8y agoDoesn't look like it: https://coral.withgoogle.com/web-compiler/ https://coral.withgoogle.com/web-compiler/ The proprietary compiler thing sucks, but it is where a lot of the secret sauce is, unfortunately. But a binary wouldn't be too much to ask for...
- ipsum2 8y agoWell then, its DoA. Not sure why any company would agree to these terms.
- jononor 8y agoAgree it might be a dealbreaker for some. But right now there is not that much competition in the TPU for embedded space. NVidia Jetson and Intel Nervana are the only ones shipping? So if the TPU allows some company to do something not possible / much better than with Jetson, they will probably be willing to play that game.
- monocasa 8y agoIt's starting to heat up. K210s are supposed to be pretty cool if you can put your hand on one.
- mindcrime 8y agoThey mentioned previously that you had to compile your models on the cloud Wow, I was interested in this, right up until I read that. Talk about "weak sauce". Sorry Google, but no, I will not use your proprietary compiler, especially when it's only available in the cloud, and become beholden to hardware which could instantly become a very expensive paperweight when you shut down the compiler service. No f'in way. Release an open source compiler and I'm on-board. Otherwise, stuff it.
