Core ML (2017) by Apple

Apple's on-device ML stack — the reason a phone can run a model without a round-trip.

Core ML plus the Neural Engine put inference in the silicon tax of every iPhone and Mac. Local intelligence as a platform feature, not an app you compile.

On-device inference at phone scale.
