Apache TVM

Apache Software Foundation

Apache TVM is a machine learning compilation framework that lowers models from high-level descriptions into deployable modules for CPUs, GPUs and accelerators. Compiler pipelines are written and customized in Python, and the project targets LLVM, CUDA, ROCm, Metal, OpenCL, SPIR-V and WebGPU among others. It is developed under the Apache Software Foundation's committer model.

Openness

5 high confidence
5.0
license
Apache-2.0(OSI)
source
public
core-gated
ungated

Apache-2.0 license body confirmed. The repository is public and unarchived and builds the whole product, and the README describes no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-gated build beside it, so source is public and the core ungated.

Adoption

2 high confidence
2.0

13,543 PyPI downloads of `apache-tvm` in the trailing 30 days, which lands in the 10K-100K band of the software usage scale, level 2. TVM is predominantly built from source rather than installed from the wheel, so the package figure is a floor on real use rather than a measure of it. No higher-confidence usage count is published, and the stars scale would report a level the ladder caps at 3 on a weaker instrument, so the download figure is banded as recorded.

Capability

5 medium confidence
5.0

Banded on the category feature matrix as retargetable end-to-end compiler. This is the category's top anchor: the matrix bands on how much of the model-to-hardware transformation pipeline a product performs, over how many inputs and targets, and nothing else in the roster performs more of it. Every other band in the category is placed against this one.
