Why?
We need to convert models for specific architectures, which requires many heterogeneous toolchains. A standardized framework that enables seamless integration of AI models with various XPUs, ensuring interoperability across different hardware platforms would be very useful.
What?
OAAX or Open AI Accelerator Exchange, is an open standard designed to simplify the development and deployment of edge AI applications. It provides a unified framework for converting and optimizing machine learning models for execution on various hardware accelerators, or XPUs.
