EdgeAI Model Hub
Pre-trained, hardware-optimized, edge AI models for TI Microprocessor devices
Overview
The TI EdgeAI Model Hub is a curated repository of open-source computer vision models optimized for deployment on Texas Instruments Microprocessor devices.
Models are compiled for TI hardware using edgeai-tidl-tools or edgeai-tidlrunner, enabling production-ready inference without cloud dependency. For more details on TIDL model compilation options, runtimes, and supported operators, see the TIDL User Guide.
- ✅ Portable across various devices
- ✅ Optimized for TI MPU devices
- ✅ Benchmarked on a variety of TI MPU devices with C7 NPU
- ✅ Automated scripts for model compilation, benchmark & deployment
Use Cases
| Automotive | Aerospace & Defense | Industrial |
| Surveillance | Robotics | Edge IoT |

Compilation & Deployment
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| edgeai-tidlrunner | High-level compilation and benchmark interface. (Recommended for compilation and benchmark) |
| edgeai-tidl-tools | Deployment tools (and also low-level compilation tools for advanced users). |
Quick Start
1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/TexasInstruments/edgeai-modelhub.git
cd edgeai-modelhub
2. Navigate to a model directory and prepare the model
cd models/vision/<task>/<model>/
python prepare_model.py --model <variant>
3. Compile for TI hardware (run from inside the edgeai-tidlrunner directory)
cd /path/to/edgeai-tidlrunner
tidlrunner-cli compile --target_device <device> \
--config_path /path/to/edgeai-modelhub/<model>_config.yaml
4. Infer on TI hardware (run from inside the edgeai-tidlrunner directory)
cd /path/to/edgeai-tidlrunner
tidlrunner-cli infer --target_device <device> \
--config_path /path/to/edgeai-modelhub/<model>_config.yaml
Deployment
Deplyment can be done using edgeai-tidl-tools. For ONNX models, onnxruntime-tidl with TIDL acceleration can be used. Consult the documentation of edgeai-tidl-tools for more details.
