OpenVINO IR format#
OpenVINO Intermediate Representation
(IR)
is the proprietary model format of OpenVINO. It is produced after
converting a model with model conversion API. Model conversion API
translates the frequently used deep learning operations to their
respective similar representation in OpenVINO and tunes them with the
associated weights and biases from the trained model. The resulting IR
contains two files: an .xml
file, containing information about
network topology, and a .bin
file, containing the weights and biases
binary data.
There are two ways to convert a model from the original framework format to OpenVINO IR: Python conversion API and OVC command-line tool. You can choose one of them based on whichever is most convenient for you.
OpenVINO conversion API supports next model formats: PyTorch
,
TensorFlow
, TensorFlow Lite
, ONNX
, and PaddlePaddle
.
These model formats can be read, compiled, and converted to OpenVINO IR,
either automatically or explicitly.
For more details, refer to Model Preparation documentation.
# OVC CLI tool parameters description
! ovc --help
usage: ovc INPUT_MODEL... [-h] [--output_model OUTPUT_MODEL] [--compress_to_fp16 [True | False]] [--version] [--input INPUT] [--output OUTPUT] [--extension EXTENSION] [--verbose] positional arguments: INPUT_MODEL Input model file(s) from TensorFlow, ONNX, PaddlePaddle. Use openvino.convert_model in Python to convert models from PyTorch. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --output_model OUTPUT_MODEL This parameter is used to name output .xml/.bin files of converted model. Model name or output directory can be passed. If output directory is passed, the resulting .xml/.bin files are named by original model name. --compress_to_fp16 [True | False] Compress weights in output OpenVINO model to FP16. To turn off compression use "--compress_to_fp16=False" command line parameter. Default value is True. --version Print ovc version and exit. --input INPUT Information of model input required for model conversion. This is a comma separated list with optional input names and shapes. The order of inputs in converted model will match the order of specified inputs. The shape is specified as comma-separated list. Example, to set input_1 input with shape [1,100] and sequence_len input with shape [1,?]: "input_1[1,100],sequence_len[1,?]", where "?" is a dynamic dimension, which means that such a dimension can be specified later in the runtime. If the dimension is set as an integer (like 100 in [1,100]), such a dimension is not supposed to be changed later, during a model conversion it is treated as a static value. Example with unnamed inputs: "[1,100],[1,?]". --output OUTPUT One or more comma-separated model outputs to be preserved in the converted model. Other outputs are removed. If output parameter is not specified then all outputs from the original model are preserved. Do not add :0 to the names for TensorFlow. The order of outputs in the converted model is the same as the order of specified names. Example: ovc model.onnx output=out_1,out_2 --extension EXTENSION Paths or a comma-separated list of paths to libraries (.so or .dll) with extensions. --verbose Print detailed information about conversion.
Fetching example models#

To convert a model to OpenVINO IR, use the following API:
import openvino as ov
# ov.convert_model returns an openvino.runtime.Model object
print(ONNX_NLP_MODEL_PATH)
ov_model = ov.convert_model(ONNX_NLP_MODEL_PATH)
# then model can be serialized to *.xml & *.bin files

Setting Input Shapes#
Model conversion is supported for models with dynamic input shapes that contain undefined dimensions. However, if the shape of data is not going to change from one inference request to another, it is recommended to set up static shapes (when all dimensions are fully defined) for the inputs. Doing so at the model preparation stage, not at runtime, can be beneficial in terms of performance and memory consumption.
For more information refer to Setting Input Shapes documentation.
import openvino as ov
ov_model = ov.convert_model(ONNX_NLP_MODEL_PATH, input=[("input_ids", [1, 128]), ("attention_mask", [1, 128])])

The input
parameter allows overriding original input shapes if it is
supported by the model topology. Shapes with dynamic dimensions in the
original model can be replaced with static shapes for the converted
model, and vice versa. The dynamic dimension can be marked in model

To optimize memory consumption for models with undefined dimensions in
runtime, model conversion API provides the capability to define
boundaries of dimensions. The boundaries of undefined dimension can be
specified with ellipsis in the command line or with
openvino.Dimension
class in Python. For example, launch model
conversion for the ONNX Bert model and specify a boundary for the
sequence length dimension:
import openvino as ov
sequence_length_dim = ov.Dimension(10, 128)
ov_model = ov.convert_model(
ONNX_NLP_MODEL_PATH,
input=[
("input_ids", [1, sequence_length_dim]),
("attention_mask", [1, sequence_length_dim]),
],
)

Compressing a Model to FP16#
By default model weights compressed to FP16 format when saving OpenVINO
model to IR. This saves up to 2x storage space for the model file and in
most cases doesn’t sacrifice model accuracy. Weight compression can be
disabled by setting compress_to_fp16
flag to False
:
import openvino as ov
ov_model = ov.convert_model(ONNX_NLP_MODEL_PATH)
ov.save_model(ov_model, MODEL_DIRECTORY_PATH / "distilbert.xml", compress_to_fp16=False)
! ovc model/distilbert.onnx --output_model model/distilbert.xml --compress_to_fp16=False

Migration from Legacy conversion API#
In the 2023.1 OpenVINO release OpenVINO Model Conversion API was
introduced with the corresponding Python API: openvino.convert_model
method. ovc
and openvino.convert_model
represent a lightweight
alternative of mo
and openvino.tools.mo.convert_model
which are
considered legacy API now. mo.convert_model()
provides a wide range
of preprocessing parameters. Most of these parameters have analogs in
OVC or can be replaced with functionality from ov.PrePostProcessor
class. Refer to Optimize Preprocessing
notebook for
more information about Preprocessing
API.
Here is the migration guide from legacy model preprocessing to
Preprocessing API.
Specifying Layout#
Layout defines the meaning of dimensions in a shape and can be specified for both inputs and outputs. Some preprocessing requires to set input layouts, for example, setting a batch, applying mean or scales, and reversing input channels (BGR<->RGB). For the layout syntax, check the Layout API overview. To specify the layout, you can use the layout option followed by the layout value.
The following example specifies the NCHW
layout for a Pytorch
Resnet50 model that was exported to the ONNX format:
# Converter API
import openvino as ov
ov_model = ov.convert_model(ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH)
prep = ov.preprocess.PrePostProcessor(ov_model)
prep.input("input.1").model().set_layout(ov.Layout("nchw"))
ov_model = prep.build()
# Legacy Model Optimizer API
from openvino.tools import mo
ov_model = mo.convert_model(ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH, layout="nchw")
[ INFO ] MO command line tool is considered as the legacy conversion API as of OpenVINO 2023.2 release.
In 2025.0 MO command line tool and openvino.tools.mo.convert_model() will be removed. Please use OpenVINO Model Converter (OVC) or openvino.convert_model(). OVC represents a lightweight alternative of MO and provides simplified model conversion API.

To disable this warning, you can either: - Avoid using tokenizers before the fork if possible - Explicitly set the environment variable TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM=(true | false)
Changing Model Layout#
Transposing of matrices/tensors is a typical operation in Deep Learning
- you may have a BMP image 640x480
, which is an array of
{480, 640, 3}
elements, but Deep Learning model can require input
with shape {1, 3, 480, 640}
.
Conversion can be done implicitly, using the layout of a user’s tensor and the layout of an original model:
# Converter API
import openvino as ov
ov_model = ov.convert_model(ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH)
prep = ov.preprocess.PrePostProcessor(ov_model)
prep.input("input.1").tensor().set_layout(ov.Layout("nhwc"))
prep.input("input.1").model().set_layout(ov.Layout("nchw"))
ov_model = prep.build()
# Legacy Model Optimizer API
from openvino.tools import mo
ov_model = mo.convert_model(ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH, layout="nchw->nhwc")
# alternatively use source_layout and target_layout parameters
ov_model = mo.convert_model(ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH, source_layout="nchw", target_layout="nhwc")
[ INFO ] MO command line tool is considered as the legacy conversion API as of OpenVINO 2023.2 release.
In 2025.0 MO command line tool and openvino.tools.mo.convert_model() will be removed. Please use OpenVINO Model Converter (OVC) or openvino.convert_model(). OVC represents a lightweight alternative of MO and provides simplified model conversion API.

Specifying Mean and Scale Values#
Using Preprocessing API mean
and scale
values can be set. Using
these API, model embeds the corresponding preprocessing block for
mean-value normalization of the input data and optimizes this block.
Refer to Optimize Preprocessing
notebook for
more examples.
# Converter API
import openvino as ov
ov_model = ov.convert_model(ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH)
prep = ov.preprocess.PrePostProcessor(ov_model)
prep.input("input.1").tensor().set_layout(ov.Layout("nchw"))
prep.input("input.1").preprocess().mean([255 * x for x in [0.485, 0.456, 0.406]])
prep.input("input.1").preprocess().scale([255 * x for x in [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]])
ov_model = prep.build()
# Legacy Model Optimizer API
from openvino.tools import mo
ov_model = mo.convert_model(
ONNX_CV_MODEL_PATH,
mean_values=[255 * x for x in [0.485, 0.456, 0.406]],

Reversing Input Channels#
Sometimes, input images for your application can be of the RGB
(or
BGR
) format, and the model is trained on images of the BGR
(or
RGB
) format, which is in the opposite order of color channels. In
this case, it is important to preprocess the input images by reverting
the color channels before inference.

prep.input("input.1").preprocess().reverse_channels()
ov_model = prep.build()

Cutting Off Parts of a Model#
Cutting model inputs and outputs from a model is no longer available in the new conversion API. Instead, we recommend performing the cut in the original framework. Examples of model cutting of TensorFlow protobuf, TensorFlow SavedModel, and ONNX formats with tools provided by the Tensorflow and ONNX frameworks can be found in documentation guide. For PyTorch, TensorFlow 2 Keras, and PaddlePaddle, we recommend changing the original model code to perform the model cut.
