# AI/ML documentation

Deploy pre-trained, deep learning models on Qualcomm hardware accelerators,
such as Neural Processing Unit (NPU), Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), and
Central Processing Unit (CPU).

The Qualcomm AI software offering contains software development kits (SDKs),
APIs, sample applications, development tools, and third-party framework
support to ease application development.
