Definition
TensorFlow Lite is an open-source framework designed to deploy machine learning models on resource-constrained devices such as smartphones, microcontrollers, and IoT devices. It optimizes models through techniques like quantization and pruning to reduce size and latency while maintaining acceptable accuracy. TFLite provides interpreters for various platforms including Android, iOS, and Linux, facilitating efficient inference directly on the device rather than relying on cloud processing.
