TensorFlow Lite is now LiteRT- Google Developers Blog
Sep 4, 2024Google AI Edge team

Summary
TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) has been rebranded as LiteRT (Lite Runtime) to reflect its expanded vision of supporting models from multiple frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, Keras) for on-device deployment. The core functionality and performance remain, with continued development under the new name. Developers using TFLite via packages will need to update dependencies to use LiteRT from Maven, PyPi, or Cocoapods. Building from source will continue on the TensorFlow repo until code is fully moved to the new LiteRT repo. The .tflite file extension and format remain unchanged. TensorFlow.js is unaffected. Production apps using TFLite are not affected.
