Google has announced the launch of MediaPipe for Raspberry Pi, offering a Python-based software development kit (SDK) for machine learning (ML) tasks complete with examples for audio classification, text classification, gesture recognition, and more. "Today we’re happy to announce that the initial version of the iOS SDK, plus an update for the Python SDK to support the Raspberry Pi, are available." Google's MediaPipe on-device ML platform now supports the Raspberry Pi family of single-board computers, including the Raspberry Pi 400. In its most recent update, the Python side of the platform has gained official support for the Raspberry Pi range of single-board computers — though performance will vary from device to device, with peak performance achievable only on the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 400 models. You will also want to make sure you have an [ML] model stored locally on your Raspberry Pi."
