Install: brew install libtensorflow
About:
Libtensorflow provides the C API for TensorFlow, enabling developers to integrate machine learning inference and model execution into applications written in C, C++, and other languages via FFI. It serves as a stable, low-level interface for loading models, running predictions, and managing tensors. This package is ideal for embedding ML capabilities into performance-critical or resource-constrained environments.
Key Features:
  • C API for TensorFlow runtime
  • Model loading and inference execution
  • Tensor manipulation and memory management
  • Cross-language integration via FFI
  • Stable ABI for production deployment
Use Cases:
  • Embedding ML models in C/C++ applications
  • High-performance inference serving
  • Edge device deployment
  • Language bindings for ML frameworks
Alternatives:
  • libtorch – PyTorch C++ API; more flexible for training but heavier than TensorFlow's C interface
  • onnx-runtime – Cross-platform inference engine; supports multiple frameworks with optimized execution
