What's the difference between the AI Engine and Mojo?
Blog post from Modular
In May, a new AI developer platform was unveiled, featuring the Mojo programming language and the Modular AI Engine, which have since attracted significant interest from developers. The AI Engine, currently in closed preview, is a high-performance inference engine supporting major AI frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, delivering significantly improved throughput using advanced compiler and runtime technologies. Mojo, designed to integrate with the AI Engine, combines Python's usability with the robustness of systems programming languages, allowing developers to create custom machine learning kernels more efficiently. Although initially created for the AI Engine, Mojo aims to become a superset of Python, offering features like compile-time metaprogramming and hardware-specific optimizations. Together, the AI Engine and Mojo are expected to accelerate AI development, enabling high-performance inference and innovation in a wide range of domains.
