No mention of Google MediaPipe (https://mediapipe.dev/ https://mediapipe.dev/), which is a mobile/edge framework for deploying TFLite models. MediaPipe has the advantage of letting you stitch together multiple models, transformations, and heuristics into a higher level computational graph. I'm not aware of any equivalent for PyTorch, although PyTorch Live seems like baby steps in that direction.

I am using mediapipe extensively in my day-to-day job. I've been impressed with it so far, and the ability to patch together multiple models in to, well... a media pipe, has been impressively useful. But I am also waiting for the penny to drop and google to announce they've abandoned it, or that their API has completely changed.

  Do you work at my company? Because that's our biggest fear too. I asked a friend of mine at Google to sleuth around internally and get a sense for the health of the project. He said that it's used on some internal projects and seems to have a pretty healthy internal website. So hopefully it won't be cancelled soon.

    > Do you work at my company? Maybe. But I only get paid in whatever snacks I can scrounge from the employee fridge and pickings have been slim of late since so few people come into the office these days. I am down to the "expired mystery mozzarella cheese sticks" and the leftover ketchup packages from Woodranch BBQ & Grill that are in the drawer with all the unused chopsticks and plastic forks. I too spoke to a friend at Google that is part of the team, and whilst he said there were no plans to cancel it, or make radical changes, when I asked about unplanned plans, he kinda just shrugged and said "You know Google..." I have a dual solution approach, Mediapipe for "in use now" and OpenPose for validation, slower processing and the "Google just **ed us" moment we're both anticipating. I need to build my own pose analysis system, but right now I don't have the bandwidth. On the last day of Christmas the CEO sent to me: Thirty-two Manfrotto Tripod extenders Sixteen Manfrotto tripods Sixteen high speed cables Sixteen Manfrotto C-clamps Sixteen Manfrotto 3/8 to 1/4-20 reducers Sixteen Quick release mounts Sixteen 4K cameras Fooouuuurrrrr high-speeeeeed PCIe capture cards Three days to hit deadline Two triggered circuit breakers One really huge headache And a new VR H.M.D.
