Welcome to the world of the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) Model Zoo, where machine learning meets versatility! This repository hosts a dazzling collection of pre-trained models across various domains, empowering developers to leverage cutting-edge AI solutions with ease.

Understanding the ONNX Model Zoo

The ONNX model is akin to a universal passport for machine learning frameworks. Imagine if every country operated on its own currency — chaos would ensue! The ONNX standard acts as a shared currency, allowing models to move freely across different platforms, be it TensorFlow, PyTorch, or others. The ONNX Model Zoo is a curated marketplace, teeming with AI models ready to be deployed for a multitude of tasks.

What Models Can You Find?

The ONNX Model Zoo is continually expanding its repository with a rich variety of models such as:

• Computer Vision
• Natural Language Processing (NLP)
• Generative AI
• Graph Machine Learning

Currently, you can refer to the validated models for accuracy with specific categories being heavily examined and tested.

How to Access ONNX Models?

Getting your hands on an ONNX model is quite straightforward!

Step 1: Clone the Repository (Not Recommended)

While cloning the repo via Git is an option, keep in mind that it won’t automatically download the large ONNX models. Here’s how to initiate:

pip install git-lfs
git lfs pull --include=[path to model].onnx --exclude=To download all models:
git lfs pull --include=* --exclude=

Step 2: Direct Download via GitHub UI

Navigate directly to the GitHub models page, where you can download models with a simple click on the Download button!

Working with Models: A Simpler Analogy

Think of an ONNX model as a fully prepped meal — it’s already garnished and spiced to perfection. The backend serves as the kitchen where this meal is prepared. Each ingredient (model inputs) is thrown into the cooking pot (model execution) and results in a plateful of delicious output (model predictions). You can tweak the recipe (model parameters) to your taste (specific requirements) and enjoy the final dish (the output) without worrying about the underlying intricacies of how everything comes together!

Usage and Testing

Once you’ve downloaded the models, here’s a structured way to validate them:

• Load the ONNX model.
• Access the test data files (either in .pb or .npz formats).
• Run the models and compare outputs with expected results.

Starter Python Code for Model Validation

Utilize the following code snippet to get started with testing your model:

import numpy as np
import onnx
import onnx_backend as backend
from onnx import numpy_helper
# Load model, data, and execute...

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter hurdles while utilizing the ONNX Model Zoo, here’s how to get back on track:

• Ensure that Git LFS is properly installed if downloading models via Git.
• Check model compatibility with the backend you are utilizing.
• Make sure the paths in your Python scripts refer correctly to the model files and data.
