Export functions

You can export models to ONNX from two frameworks in 🤗 Optimum: PyTorch and TensorFlow. There is an export function for each of these frameworks, export_pytorch() and export_tensorflow(), but the recommended way of using those is via the main export function ~optimum.exporters.main_export, which will take care of using the proper exporting function according to the available framework, check that the exported model is valid, and provide extended options to run optimizations on the exported model.

Main functions

( model_name_or_path: str output: typing.Union[str, pathlib.Path] task: str = 'auto' opset: typing.Optional[int] = None device: str = 'cpu' fp16: typing.Optional[bool] = False optimize: typing.Optional[str] = None monolith: bool = False no_post_process: bool = False framework: typing.Optional[str] = None atol: typing.Optional[float] = None cache_dir: typing.Optional[str] = None trust_remote_code: bool = False pad_token_id: typing.Optional[int] = None subfolder: str = '' revision: str = 'main' force_download: bool = False local_files_only: bool = False use_auth_token: typing.Union[bool, str, NoneType] = None for_ort: bool = False do_validation: bool = True model_kwargs: typing.Union[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any], NoneType] = None custom_onnx_configs: typing.Union[typing.Dict[str, ForwardRef('OnnxConfig')], NoneType] = None fn_get_submodels: typing.Optional[typing.Callable] = None use_subprocess: bool = False _variant: str = 'default' library_name: typing.Optional[str] = None **kwargs_shapes )

Required parameters

  • model_name_or_path (str) — Model ID on huggingface.co or path on disk to the model repository to export.
  • output (Union[str, Path]) — Path indicating the directory where to store the generated ONNX model.

Optional parameters

  • task (Optional[str], defaults to None) — The task to export the model for. If not specified, the task will be auto-inferred based on the model. For decoder models, use xxx-with-past to export the model using past key values in the decoder.
  • opset (Optional[int], defaults to None) — If specified, ONNX opset version to export the model with. Otherwise, the default opset for the given model architecture will be used.
  • device (str, defaults to "cpu") — The device to use to do the export. Defaults to “cpu”.
  • fp16 (Optional[bool], defaults to "False") — Use half precision during the export. PyTorch-only, requires device="cuda".
  • optimize (Optional[str], defaults to None) — Allows to run ONNX Runtime optimizations directly during the export. Some of these optimizations are specific to ONNX Runtime, and the resulting ONNX will not be usable with other runtime as OpenVINO or TensorRT. Available options: "O1", "O2", "O3", "O4". Reference: AutoOptimizationConfig
  • monolith (bool, defaults to False) — Forces to export the model as a single ONNX file.
  • no_post_process (bool, defaults to False) — Allows to disable any post-processing done by default on the exported ONNX models.
  • framework (Optional[str], defaults to None) — The framework to use for the ONNX export ("pt" or "tf"). If not provided, will attempt to automatically detect the framework for the checkpoint.
  • atol (Optional[float], defaults to None) — If specified, the absolute difference tolerance when validating the model. Otherwise, the default atol for the model will be used.
  • cache_dir (Optional[str], defaults to None) — Path indicating where to store cache. The default Hugging Face cache path will be used by default.
  • trust_remote_code (bool, defaults to False) — Allows to use custom code for the modeling hosted in the model repository. This option should only be set for repositories you trust and in which you have read the code, as it will execute on your local machine arbitrary code present in the model repository.
  • pad_token_id (Optional[int], defaults to None) — This is needed by some models, for some tasks. If not provided, will attempt to use the tokenizer to guess it.
  • subfolder (str, defaults to "") — In case the relevant files are located inside a subfolder of the model repo either locally or on huggingface.co, you can specify the folder name here.
  • revision (str, defaults to "main") — Revision is the specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id.
  • force_download (bool, defaults to False) — Whether or not to force the (re-)download of the model weights and configuration files, overriding the cached versions if they exist.
  • local_files_only (Optional[bool], defaults to False) — Whether or not to only look at local files (i.e., do not try to download the model).
  • use_auth_token (Optional[str], defaults to None) — The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If True, will use the token generated when running transformers-cli login (stored in ~/.huggingface).
  • model_kwargs (Optional[Dict[str, Any]], defaults to None) — Experimental usage: keyword arguments to pass to the model during the export. This argument should be used along the custom_onnx_configs argument in case, for example, the model inputs/outputs are changed (for example, if model_kwargs={"output_attentions": True} is passed).
  • custom_onnx_configs (Optional[Dict[str, OnnxConfig]], defaults to None) — Experimental usage: override the default ONNX config used for the given model. This argument may be useful for advanced users that desire a finer-grained control on the export. An example is available here.
  • fn_get_submodels (Optional[Callable], defaults to None) — Experimental usage: Override the default submodels that are used at the export. This is especially useful when exporting a custom architecture that needs to split the ONNX (e.g. encoder-decoder). If unspecified with custom models, optimum will try to use the default submodels used for the given task, with no guarantee of success.
  • use_subprocess (bool) — Do the ONNX exported model validation in subprocesses. This is especially useful when exporting on CUDA device, where ORT does not release memory at inference session destruction. When set to True, the main_export call should be guarded in if __name__ == "__main__": block.
  • _variant (str, defaults to default) — Specify the variant of the ONNX export to use.
  • library_name (Optional[str], defaults to None) — The library of the model("tansformers" or "diffusers" or "timm"). If not provided, will attempt to automatically detect the library name for the checkpoint.
  • **kwargs_shapes (Dict) — Shapes to use during inference. This argument allows to override the default shapes used during the ONNX export.

Full-suite ONNX export.

Example usage:

>>> from optimum.exporters.onnx import main_export

>>> main_export("gpt2", output="gpt2_onnx/")
