In my conversations with people at Apple, my understanding is that they do not use CoreML. Instead, they have access to lower level libraries that allow more direct programmatic control of the hardware.

CoreML is the crappy middleware they made for 3rd party devs, but never got much love and never took off.

Re: ANE — as stated, ANE is crazy fast when it works. Yes, it’s also more power efficient, but the reason I think it’s actually worth building on is being able to make consumer products where the entire experience depends on speed.

I think you can agree that 5 milliseconds to generate a 512 px resolution image is absolutely insane speed.

Sure.

I think this conversation has run its course.
