A friendly introduction to machine learning compilers and optimizers

However, as I learned more about bringing ML models into production, the topic of compilers kept coming up. In many use cases, especially when running an ML model on the edge, the model���s success still depends on the hardware it runs on, which makes it important for people working with ML m...
