But fortunately for us the various developers think about making the AI concept within our reach, creating applications and software that exploits its potential and that in fact makes us accessible to the world behind this technology. Particularly are the smartphones to use it, such as those proposed by Xiaomi, which in recent times complements in the camera software just the AI allowing to make professional shots simply with a click from your device. And so Lei Jun's OEM has today announced the launch of an Open Source project, linked precisely to AI development, which responds to the name of MACE and made available on the well-known Github site and available to this address.
All developers are called to collect for MACE, short for Mobile AI Compute Engine, officially released by Xiaomi the 15 December 2017. The development of MACE covers more sectors, related to CPU, GPU, DSP and everything that allows Xiaomi smartphones to bring new features never seen before, just like the portrait mode, the recognition of the scenes, through which the software automatically sets the correct shooting parameters etc ..
