Firebase ML is a mobile SDK that enables developers to easily integrate machine learning capabilities into their apps. It supports both custom model deployment and cloud-based APIs for tasks like text recognition and image labeling.

Key Features

• Custom Model Deployment: Allows developers to deploy and update TensorFlow Lite models on users' devices without requiring app updates.
• Cloud-Based APIs: Provides ready-to-use APIs for common tasks such as text recognition, image labeling, and landmark recognition, leveraging Google Cloud's machine learning technology.
• AutoML Vision Edge: Enables the creation of custom image classification models using Google's AutoML technology, which can be trained and deployed directly from the Firebase console.
• On-Device vs. Cloud Inference: Supports both on-device inference for real-time processing and cloud-based inference for higher accuracy.

Benefits

• Easy Integration: Simplifies the integration of machine learning into mobile apps without requiring extensive ML expertise.
• Flexibility: Offers both on-device and cloud-based solutions to cater to different application needs.
• Efficient Updates: Allows for seamless model updates without the need for app re-releases.
