Will Barracuda 4.0 will be come with Unity AI initiative.

[srcnalt]

It's been over a month now Unity announced Unity AI, which we do not know exactly what is but probably will be tools around everything recent AI boom provided to us. Since quite a lot of open source AI models are also being released, a new version of Barracuda would be essential to bring these to Unity.

What will Unity's strategy be on that front, 2 options are not releasing Barracuda publicly to release and monetize AI models as a service, or let Unity developers find out their own use cases with the help of more dev tools?

Bumping up. I would guess another sub-branch of Unity to monetize on. Would be happy to get a production ready Barracuda at least.

@srcnalt, did you get a response from @cullenwire1? Would be great to hear if there is a chance of further Barracuda development. ML is a great addition to game engines.
