Firebase ML Kit Custom Model Inference from Cloud Functions

Question

I was hoping to build a Firebase Cloud Function for inferring/interpreting on a Custom Model hosted in ML Kit.

The official documentation has some pretty in-depth detail on inference for Android and iOS, but I'm hoping this is possible from Cloud Functions (node) as well.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Firebase ML Kit is exclusively for mobile devices, not backends like Cloud Functions. If you want to work with ML on a backend, consider using something else, such as AutoML.
