MindSpore
FreeHuawei's open-source deep learning framework for all devices
What is MindSpore?
MindSpore is an open-source framework from Huawei for training and running deep learning models on devices, edge hardware and the cloud. It is closely tied to Huawei's Ascend AI processors and is used mainly by researchers and companies in China.
Developers write models in Python, and the framework can run them in eager mode for debugging or compile them into graphs for faster execution. It supports automatic parallelism for training large models across many chips, and it also runs on GPUs and CPUs besides Ascend hardware.
The project is developed in the open with a community site, documentation, model libraries and tutorials, most of them published first in Chinese. It is free to use under an open-source license.
