Ever since its launch, TensorFlow has been available to developers on Android. Now, the Google team has added support for iOS in v0.9 of TensorFlow, along with Raspberry Pi support and new compilation options.
TensorFlow for iOS was built with a specific set of scripts, including a makefile to drive the cross-compilation process. This makefile can also help developers build TensorFlow without using Bazel, according to a Google Developers blog post.
Developers can view the full documentation for its iOS samples and Android sample. The mobile samples allow developers to classify images using the ImageNet Inception v1 classifier.
Full release notes for TensorFlow 0.9.0 can be found here.
