Why is my computer running slowly during training?
Why is my computer running slowly during training?
Training is a very computation-heavy process. Lobe will use a lot of memory and CPU bandwidth to train as quickly as possible. This generally means your computer will have less CPU and memory available for other apps to use.
Does Lobe use the GPU for training?
Does Lobe use the GPU for training?
Yes! Lobe uses TensorFlow with DirectML on Windows. CoreML on Mac is coming soon.

Why is Lobe running slow?
Why is Lobe running slow?
You may experience Lobe running slowly for larger projects and images. We are actively working on performance improvements during the beta. To help make Lobe run and train faster, you can resize large image resolutions to 224px on the smallest side.

Why would I need to rename the Lobe app?
Why would I need to rename the Lobe app?
If your Lobe app is named to something with a space (such as "Lobe 2"), you may see an error when exporting your model in the TensorFlow Lite format. Please rename your app back to "Lobe" or something else without a space to resolve this issue.
