It's more of a 'bring your own optimizer' kind of a framework.
The idea is that, you know best what optimizations work for your domain.
But a compiler needs a large amount of engineering for things which are not optimizations.
MLIR makes it possible to get this infra (developed utilizing lessons from LLVM and other compilers) for free and share improvements among multiple compilers without pulling your hair out trying to understand misleading academic papers.
