You can obtain a model in one of :doc:supported formats <Supported_Model_Formats>
in many ways. The easiest one is to download it from an online database,
such as TensorFlow Hub <https://tfhub.dev/>, Hugging Face <https://huggingface.co/>,
and Torchvision models <https://pytorch.org/hub/>__. Now you have two options:
-
Skip model conversion and run inference directly from the source format. Conversion will still be performed but it will happen automatically and "under the hood." This option, while convenient, offers lower performance and stability, as well as fewer optimization options.
-
Explicitly convert the model to :doc:
OpenVINO IR <openvino_ir>. This approach offers the best possible results and is the recommended one, especially for for production-ready solutions. Explicit conversion can be done in two ways:- the Python API functions (
openvino.convert_modelandopenvino.save_model) - the
ovccommand line tool.
Once saved as :doc:
OpenVINO IR <openvino_ir>(a set of.xmland.binfiles), the model may be deployed with maximum performance. Because it is already optimized for OpenVINO inference, it can be read, compiled, and inferred with no additional delay. - the Python API functions (
.. note::
Model conversion API prior to OpenVINO 2023.1 is considered deprecated.
Existing and new projects are recommended to transition to the new
solutions, keeping in mind that they are not fully backwards compatible
with openvino.tools.mo.convert_model or the mo CLI tool.
For more details, see the :doc:Model Conversion API Transition Guide <openvino_docs_OV_Converter_UG_prepare_model_convert_model_MO_OVC_transition>.
Convert a Model with Python: convert_model
##############################################
The Model conversion API in Python uses the openvino.convert_model function,
turning a given model into the openvino.Model <api/ie_python_api/_autosummary/openvino.runtime.Model.html>__
object and loading it to memory. Now it can be: saved to a drive with openvino.save_model`` or further :doc:optimized with NNCF <openvino_docs_model_optimization_guide>`
prior to saving.
See how to use openvino.convert_model with models from some of the most popular
public repositories:

Saving the model, Option 1, is used as a separate step, outside of deployment. The file it provides is then used in the final software solution, resulting in maximum performance due to fewer dependencies and faster model loading.
-
Compiling the model, Option 2, provides a convenient way to quickly switch from framework-based code to OpenVINO-based code in your existing Python inference application. The converted model is not saved to IR but compiled and used for inference within the same application.
Before saving the model to OpenVINO IR, consider :doc:Post-training Optimization <ptq_introduction>
to achieve more efficient inference and smaller model size.
Convert a Model in CLI: ovc
###############################
ovc is a command-line model converter, combining the openvino.convert_model
and openvino.save_model functionalities, providing the exact same results, if the same set of
parameters is used for saving into OpenVINO IR. It converts files from one of the
:doc:supported model formats <Supported_Model_Formats> to :doc:OpenVINO IR <openvino_ir>, which can then be read, compiled,
and run by the final inference application.
.. note::
PyTorch models cannot be converted with ovc, use openvino.convert_model instead.
