DirectML is a low-level API for machine learning that provides a native C++ interface in the style of DirectX 12, enabling hardware-accelerated inferencing on any DirectX 12 compatible GPU. It offers a library of machine learning primitive operators for tasks like upscaling, anti-aliasing, and style transfer, and can be used directly or through higher-level APIs like Windows ML and ONNX Runtime.
