Nope, I’m aware. Not quite as open source as the other toolkits but it’s good that IBM have embraced Github. > https://github.com/IBM/zDNN > https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=consider-z-deep-neural-network-library-zdnn > >> I noticed that IBM have shipped patched Python packages for >> TensorFlow and SnapML that exploit Telum for Linux on Z. >> I suppose like everything, we’ll have to wait a while for z/OS. > > Missed this one too? > > https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/evan-rivera/2023/02/24/python-ai-toolkit-for-ibm-zos I suspect you are not familiar with the Python AI Toolkit for z/OS. Apart from SciPy, NumPy and some stuff for Jupyter notebooks there is nothing related to AI in that bundle. It’s nothing more than a curated set of Python packages.
