According to Baidu, PaddlePaddle has been adopted by more than 1.9 million developers, with more than 84,000 businesses using the deep learning platform to create more than 230,000 models. The company said it also worked with several global hardware manufacturers including Intel, Huawei, MediaTek, and Inspur, on the PaddlePaddle ecosystem.
Baidu CTO Wang Haifeng said: “Now is an unprecedented opportunity for the development of PaddlePaddle given the rise of industrial intelligence and the acceleration of AI-powered infrastructure. We will continue to embrace the open-source spirit, drive technological innovation, and partner with developers to advance deep learning and AI technologies and speed up the process of industrial intelligence.”
Alibaba last November also published the core codes of its machine learning platform Alink on GitHub, uploading a rang of algorithm libraries that it said supported batch and stream processing. These were essential to support machine learning tasks such as online product recommendations and smart customer services.
