Hi HN!<p>I&#x27;m excited to share this project with you all today. It&#x27;s still in beta, but with positive notes from early users I wanted to open it up to the community.<p>Pallet is a mobile-first machine learning platform that enables you to instantly turn computer vision models into shareable apps, and access them anytime from a single interface.<p>As an application developer, I was drawn to deep learning for computer vision for the seemingly magical feature of giving everyday apps the ability to &quot;see&quot;. However, while there are a number of resources that can teach you how to build &amp; train deep learning models for object recognition tasks, I&#x27;ve found far fewer resources that facilitate deploying those same models as real-world apps. There are even a handful of amazing &quot;no-code&quot; applications for developing image classification models, like Lobe.ai [1] or Google Cloud&#x27;s AutoML Vision [2], but no comparable applications for deployment.<p>Moreover, given how fast the ML world has been moving the last few years, it can be a challenge to not only keep up with state of the art models, but understand how to use them in practice.<p>In an effort to make this tech a bit more accessible, I started building Pallet to automate hosting, serving, integrating, and updating models targeted for mobile devices.<p>With Pallet you can:<p>• Deploy custom machine learning models to mobile without code, and try them in the real world,<p>• Share a link to any model with one tap,<p>• Make predictions with state-of-the-art models anytime, and<p>• Explore a number of models made by the ML community<p>It&#x27;s a first step towards simplifying the process of building, deploying, and sharing custom AI-enabled apps, particularly for individual developers, machine learning engineers, students, and data scientists.<p>Right now the platform supports pretty much any TensorFlow image classification model with a standard signature (including those you can export from the aforementioned platforms), and you can find the Android app in the Play Store [3]. With more time and resources, I plan to improve framework and platform support.<p>I&#x27;d love to hear any and all feedback in the comments, or ping me on Twitter @PalletML. Thanks!<p>~ Tony<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lobe.ai" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lobe.ai</a> (or <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=24944814" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=24944814</a>)<p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;vision&#x2F;automl&#x2F;docs&#x2F;edge-quickstart" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloud.google.com&#x2F;vision&#x2F;automl&#x2F;docs&#x2F;edge-quickstart</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.palletml.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.palletml.a...</a>
