Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, previously known as Microsoft Computational Network ToolKit – CNTK and sometimes styled as The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit, is a deep learning framework developed by Microsoft Research. Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit describes neural networks as a series of computational steps via a directed graph.
“A free, easy-to-use, open-source, commercial-grade toolkit that trains deep learning algorithms to learn like the human brain.”
Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (formerly known as CNTK) version 2.0 is now available to Developers and Data Scientists. Cognitive Toolkit is a free, easy-to-use, open-source toolkit that trains deep learning algorithms to learn like the human brain.

- Speed & Scalability
The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit trains and evaluates deep learning algorithms faster than other available toolkits, scaling efficiently in a range of environments—from a CPU to GPUs, to multiple machines—while maintaining accuracy. - Commercial-Grade Quality
The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit is built with sophisticated algorithms and production readers to work reliably with massive datasets. Skype, Cortana, Bing, Xbox, and industry-leading data scientists already use the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit to develop commercial-grade AI. - Compatibility
The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit offers the most expressive, easy-to-use architecture available. Working with the languages and networks you know, like C++ and Python, it empowers you to customize any of the built-in training algorithms or use your own.
