# Awesome TensorFlow Lite [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re) [![PRs Welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg?style=flat-square)](http://makeapullrequest.com) [![Twitter](https://img.shields.io/badge/Twitter-%40margaretmz-blue)](https://twitter.com/margaretmz)

[TensorFlow Lite](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite) is a set of tools that help convert and optimize TensorFlow models to run on mobile and edge devices. It's currently running on more than 4 billion devices! With TensorFlow 2.x, you can train a model with tf.Keras, easily convert a model to .tflite and deploy it; or you can download a pretrained TensorFlow Lite model from the model zoo.

This is an awesome list of TensorFlow Lite models with sample apps, helpful tools and learning resources -
* Showcase what the community has built with TensorFlow Lite
* Put all the samples side-by-side for easy reference
* Share knowledge and learning resources

Please submit a PR if you would like to contribute and follow the guidelines [here](CONTRIBUTING.md).

## Past announcements:
Here are some past feature annoucements of TensorFlow Lite:
* [Announcement of the new converter](https://groups.google.com/a/tensorflow.org/d/msg/tflite/Z_h7706dt8Q/sNrjPj4yGgAJ) - [MLIR](https://medium.com/tensorflow/mlir-a-new-intermediate-representation-and-compiler-framework-beba999ed18d)-based and enables conversion of new classes of models such as Mask R-CNN and Mobile BERT etc., supports functional control flow and better error handling during conversion. Enabled by default in the nightly builds\.
* [Android Support Library](https://github.com/tensorflow/tflite-support/tree/master/tensorflow_lite_support/java) - Makes mobile development easier ([Android](https://github.com/tensorflow/examples/blob/master/lite/examples/image_classification/android/EXPLORE_THE_CODE.md) sample code).
* [Model Maker](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/model_maker) - Create your custom [image & text](https://github.com/tensorflow/examples/tree/master/tensorflow_examples/lite/model_maker) classification models easily in a few lines of code. See below the Icon Classifier for a tutorial by the community.
* [On-device training](https://blog.tensorflow.org/2019/12/example-on-device-model-personalization.html) - It is finally here! Currently limited to transfer learning for image classification only but it's a great start. See the official [Android](https://github.com/tensorflow/examples/blob/master/lite/examples/model_personalization/README.md) sample code and another one from the community ([Blog](https://aqibsaeed.github.io/on-device-activity-recognition) | [Android](https://github.com/aqibsaeed/on-device-activity-recognition)).
* [Hexagon delegate](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/lite/g3doc/performance/hexagon_delegate.md) - How to use the Hexagon Delegate to speed up model inference on mobile and edge devices. Also see blog post  [Accelerating TensorFlow Lite on Qualcomm Hexagon DSPs](https://blog.tensorflow.org/2019/12/accelerating-tensorflow-lite-on-qualcomm.html).
* [Model Metadata](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/convert/metadata) - Provides a standard for model descriptions which also enables [Code Gen and Android Studio ML Model Binding](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/inference_with_metadata/codegen).

## Models with samples
Here are the TensorFlow Lite models with app / device implementations, and references.
Note: pretrained TensorFlow Lite models from MediaPipe are included, which you can implement with or without MediaPipe.

## Model zoo

### TensorFlow Lite models
These are the TensorFlow Lite models that could be implemented in apps and things:
* [MobileNet](https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/slim/nets/mobilenet/README.md) - Pretrained MobileNet v2 and v3 models.
* TensorFlow Lite models
  * [TensorFlow Lite models](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/models) - With official Android and iOS examples.
  * [Pretrained models](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/hosted_models) - Quantized and floating point variants.
  * [TensorFlow Hub](https://tfhub.dev/) - Set "Model format = TFLite" to find TensorFlow Lite models.

### TensorFlow models
These are TensorFlow models that could be converted to .tflite and then implemented in apps and things:
* [TensorFlow models](https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/official) - Official TensorFlow models.
