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

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.
