Uploading a model (BYOM)

The Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) feature allows users to upload and deploy their own trained AI models to the EdgeBench platform. This is ideal for users who want to integrate custom architectures or domain-specific models that are not available in the ADI Model Zoo. BYOM supports flexible deployment on supported hardware, enabling tailored AI solutions.

Why Use BYOM?
BYOM empowers developers to leverage their own models for specialized tasks, ensuring compatibility with unique data and workflows. This feature also allows users to validate whether their models can be successfully compiled and deployed on target ADI hardware platforms.

Step 1: Prepare Your Model
Refer to the BYOM Models for EdgeBench for instructions on how to prepare and package your custom model.

Step 2: Upload Your Model
Once your model package (ZIP, TAR) is prepared, you can upload it via Workspace.

1. Navigate to Workspace → Models.
2. Click Upload Model.

3. Fill in the required model details:

   a. Model Name: A descriptive name for your model.

   b. Task Type: Select the appropriate task type.

   c. Task: Choose appropriate task from the Task dropdown

   

4. Upload your model file:

   a. Drag and drop the archive into the upload area or click Browse to select it manually.

   

5. After you upload the model file, the system automatically identifies the Framework. No need to select this manually.

6. Monitor the upload progress via the progress bar.
   
   Upload Controls
