Because halide is positioned as a high performance improvement over opencv. While I believe it is just an architectural decision to enable a non-portable ML model.

But Halide does have higher performance, is portable to many platforms as well as GPUs, CPUs (w/ parallel SIMD), and isn’t used for ML models...

Where did I mention halide?

My question is why do you care about opencv when benchmarking neural network performance on various hardware?
