Definition
ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) is an open standard format that enables AI models to move seamlessly between different machine learning frameworks.
How It Works
ONNX defines a common set of operators and a standard file format using protocol buffers. Models trained in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or other frameworks can be exported to ONNX.
The format preserves model architecture and weights while translating framework-specific operations to universal representations.
Why It Matters
ONNX breaks down framework silos, allowing teams to train in one framework and deploy in another. This flexibility optimizes both development speed and inference performance.
Major cloud providers and edge devices support ONNX, making it ideal for production deployments.
