So does this not work if you don’t have fancy new intel hardware?

Hi. I’m one of the authors of the library. The models work on every popular CPU by Intel. Nonetheless, we’re supporting Intel Optimzed Tensorflow when installing and in the future plan to add HW optimizations to the models. Stay tuned :)

So this is aimed at inference rather than training. Does Intel have any plans to produce chips which can scale training as well, or is that largely going to be outsourced to GPUs for models of considerable size for the time being?

I imagine models need to be deployed more often than built, but I thought that the pain point was usually the latter.

Thanks, I'll update my post to clarify, and also add the Tensorflow page. Great work by you and your team!
