👉 The Beacon Project, initiated by Google in 2016, is a global initiative aimed at making high-quality, open-source machine learning (ML) models and tools accessible to everyone. It focuses on developing lightweight, efficient, and fair ML models that can run on low-resource devices, such as smartphones and edge computing systems. By democratizing access to advanced ML technologies, Beacon seeks to empower developers, researchers, and organizations worldwide to innovate and solve complex problems without the need for extensive computational resources or specialized expertise. The project emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and community involvement, fostering a more inclusive and equitable AI ecosystem.
