This isn't really true. They are different offerings.

CoreML is specific to the Apple ecosystem and lets you convert a PyTorch model to a CoreML .mlmodel that will run with acceleration on iOS/Mac.

Google Mediapipe is a giant C++ library for running ML flows on any device (iOS/Android/Web). It includes Tensorflow Lite (now LiteRT) but is also a graph processor that helps with common ML preprocessing tasks like image resizing, annotating, etc.

Google killing products early is a good meme but Mediapipe is open source so you can at least credit them with that. https://github.com/google-ai-edge/mediapipe

I used a fork of Mediapipe for a contract iOS/Android computer vision product and it was very complex but worked well. A cross-platform solution would not have been possible with CoreML.

I wish MediaPipe was good for facial AR but in my experience it’s lacking.
