Google open-sources ML Drift, a cross-platform GPU engine for on-device inference

Why it matters for readers: It makes it easier to run advanced AI effects on phones and other devices without cloud latency.

ML Drift is an open-source on-device GPU compute engine released under the Apache 2.0 license.1
The engine supports multiple low-level GPU APIs including OpenGL ES, OpenCL, Metal and WebGPU to handle hardware diversity at the edge.1
ML Drift is designed for real-time, interactive ML workloads such as advanced video effects and generative AI on consumer devices.1
It serves as the core GPU acceleration engine within LiteRT but is also available as a standalone library for custom runtimes.1
