Vertex AI
Fully managed ML tools allow you to build, deploy and scale machine-learning (ML) models quickly, for any use case.
Vertex AI Workbench is natively integrated with BigQuery Dataproc and Spark. You can use BigQuery to create and execute machine-learning models in BigQuery by using standard SQL queries and spreadsheets or you can export datasets directly from BigQuery into Vertex AI Workbench to run your models there. Vertex Data Labeling can be used to create highly accurate labels for data collection.
Vertex AI Agent Builder empowers developers to design and deploy advanced generative AI applications for enterprise use. It supports both no-code and code-driven development, enabling users to create AI agents through natural language prompts or by integrating with frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex.

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit
The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) is an open-source framework designed for high-performance distributed deep learning applications. It represents neural networks through a sequence of computational operations organized in a directed graph structure. Users can effortlessly implement and integrate various popular model architectures, including feed-forward deep neural networks (DNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs/LSTMs). CNTK employs stochastic gradient descent (SGD) along with error backpropagation learning, enabling automatic differentiation and parallel processing across multiple GPUs and servers. It can be utilized as a library within Python, C#, or C++ applications, or operated as an independent machine-learning tool utilizing its own model description language, BrainScript. Additionally, CNTK's model evaluation capabilities can be accessed from Java applications, broadening its usability. The toolkit is compatible with 64-bit Linux as well as 64-bit Windows operating systems. For installation, users have the option of downloading pre-compiled binary packages or building the toolkit from source code available on GitHub, which provides flexibility depending on user preferences and technical expertise. This versatility makes CNTK a powerful tool for developers looking to harness deep learning in their projects.

Darknet
Darknet is a neural network framework that is open-source, developed using C and CUDA. Known for its speed and simplicity in installation, it accommodates both CPU and GPU processing. The source code is available on GitHub, where you can also explore its capabilities further. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only two optional dependencies: OpenCV for enhanced image format support and CUDA for GPU acceleration. While Darknet performs efficiently on CPUs, it boasts a performance increase of approximately 500 times when running on a GPU! To leverage this speed, you'll need an Nvidia GPU alongside the CUDA installation. By default, Darknet utilizes stb_image.h for loading images, but for those seeking compatibility with more obscure formats like CMYK jpegs, OpenCV can be employed. Additionally, OpenCV provides the functionality to visualize images and detections in real-time without needing to save them. Darknet supports the classification of images using well-known models such as ResNet and ResNeXt, and it has become quite popular for employing recurrent neural networks in applications related to time-series data and natural language processing. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a newcomer, Darknet offers an accessible way to implement advanced neural network solutions.
