gollark: What? We use deep neural networks. Shallow ones are so last decade.
gollark: But there just aren't very many good low-power AI inference products.
gollark: Yes, yes, I know, it isn't ideal.
gollark: They're mostly designed for computer vision but you can run kit neural networks™ on them with hacks.
gollark: Yes, we run the "kit"/"aouwt" neural networks on these.
