Model Zoo for Intel® Architecture

This repository contains links to pre-trained models, sample scripts, best practices, and step-by-step tutorials for many popular open-source machine learning models optimized by Intel to run on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.

Model packages and containers for running the Model Zoo's workloads can be found at the Intel® oneContainer Portal.

Purpose of the Model Zoo

• Demonstrate the AI workloads and deep learning models Intel has optimized and validated to run on Intel hardware
• Show how to efficiently execute, train, and deploy Intel-optimized models
• Make it easy to get started running Intel-optimized models on Intel hardware in the cloud or on bare metal

DISCLAIMER: These scripts are not intended for benchmarking Intel platforms. For any performance and/or benchmarking information on specific Intel platforms, visit https://www.intel.ai/blog.

Use cases

The model documentation in the tables below have information on the prerequisites to run each model. The model scripts run on Linux. Select models are also able to run using bare metal on Windows. For more information and a list of models that are supported on Windows, see the documentation here.
