Future Features

As explained in this section, the Concrete Framework is currently in a preliminary version, and quite constrained in term of functionalities. However, the good news is that we are going to release new versions regularly, where a lot of functionalities will be added progressively.

In this page, we briefly list what the plans for next versions of the Concrete Framework are:

• better performance: further versions will contain improved versions of the Concrete Library, with faster execution; also, the Concrete Compiler will be improved, to have faster local execution (with multi-threading for example) and faster production execution (with distribution over a set of machines or use of hardware accelerations)
• more support for torch, and support for other ML frameworks: we will continue to extend our support for torch models, and have conversions from Keras, tensorflow
• more complete benchmarks: we will have an extended benchmark, containing lots of functions that one day one would want to compile; then, we will measure the framework progress by tracking the number of successfully compiled functions over time. Also, this public benchmark will be a way for other competing frameworks or technologies to compare fairly with us, in terms of functionality or performance
• Machine Learning helpers: our midterm direction is to provide our users a set of tools to help her turn her use case in an homomorphic equivalent. This set of tools will help her reduce the needed variable precision and/or optimize the operations required to make the fastest possible compiled model.

Also, if you are especially looking for some new feature, you can drop a message to hello@zama.ai.
