ML Kit is a mobile SDK providing Google's on-device machine learning capabilities for Android and iOS, with various APIs for vision and natural language tasks that operate offline. Firebase ML offers both on-device and cloud-based solutions, enabling custom model deployments, but requires app updates for model changes. The document contrasts ML Kit and Firebase ML in performance, complexity, and use cases, while also discussing implementation details using asynchronous programming with threads and coroutines.
