ONNX Model Zoo
Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) is an open standard format for representing machine learning models. ONNX is supported by a community of partners who have implemented it in many frameworks and tools.
The ONNX Model Zoo is a collection of pre-trained, state-of-the-art models in the ONNX format contributed by community members like you. Accompanying each model are Jupyter notebooks for model training and running inference with the trained model. The notebooks are written in Python and include links to the training dataset as well as references to the original paper that describes the model architecture.
We have standardized on Git LFS (Large File Storage) to store ONNX model files. To download an ONNX model, navigate to the appropriate Github page and click the Download button on the top right.

Usage
Every ONNX backend should support running the models out of the box. After downloading and extracting the tarball of each model, you will find:
- A protobuf file
model.onnxthat represents the serialized ONNX model. - Test data (in the form of serialized protobuf TensorProto files or serialized NumPy archives).
Usage - Test data starter code
The test data files can be used to validate ONNX models from the Model Zoo. We have provided the following interface examples for you to get started. Please replace onnx_backend in your code with the appropriate framework of your choice that provides ONNX inferencing support, and likewise replace backend.run_model with the framework's model evaluation logic.
There are two different formats for the test data files:
- Serialized protobuf TensorProtos (.pb), stored in folders with the naming convention
test_data_set_*.

import glob
import onnx_backend as backend

tensor.ParseFromString(f.read())
ref_outputs.append(numpy_helper.to_array(tensor))
# Run the model on the backend
outputs = list(backend.run_model(model, inputs))
# Compare the results with reference outputs.
for ref_o, o in zip(ref_outputs, outputs):
np.testing.assert_almost_equal(ref_o, o)- Serialized Numpy archives, stored in files with the naming convention
test_data_*.npz. Each file contains one set of test inputs and outputs.
