Mobile app development with machine learning models

The Qualcomm® Neural Processing SDK for AI is a tool to optimize performance of trained
            neural networks on Snapdragon® mobile platforms.

To begin working with the SDK, download it from the [Tools & Resources page on Qualcomm Developer
                Network](https://qpm.qualcomm.com/#/main/tools/details/qualcomm_neural_processing_sdk). You can also find system requirements and instructions for setting
            up the SDK, as well as how to convert models and build the sample Android application in
            the Qualcomm Neural Processing SDK, on our [Getting Started](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-63442-2/setup.html) page. (Note that Android NDK
            version r-11 is required for proper SDK setup.)

The following pages describe techniques for getting the most from the SDK.
