This directory contains the C++ LiteRT Tensor API: a lightweight, backend-agnostic graph construction and execution framework for on-device generative AI and ML models across XNNPACK (CPU), ML Drift (OpenCL/Metal/WebGPU GPU), TFLite FlatBuffer export, and multi-backend ModelChain runners. - GPU tests on Forge (ML Drift over OpenCL): Tag cc_test targets that require an OpenCL GPU with tags = ["requires-gpu-sm90"]. - Large checkpoint tests: Do not check multi-GB .safetensors or .gguf weights into Piper. Keep unit tests in TAP fast and hermetic…

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About AGENTS.md

What is AGENTS.md?

An open format for instructions to coding agents, read by Codex, Cursor and others. Think of it as a README written for agents.

Where does it go?

At the repository root, with more specific files in subdirectories. Agents read the one closest to the file they're editing.

What should it contain?

Setup and test commands, code style, and the rules a new contributor would need to know.

Does Claude Code read it?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. A one-line CLAUDE.md that points at AGENTS.md covers both.
