Netron

Opens AI model files and shows their inner structure as a diagram you can explore.

What it does

Netron is a viewer for AI and machine learning models. Open a model file and it draws a map of the layers and connections inside it, a bit like viewing a blueprint.

It supports many common model formats, including ones from PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX and Core ML, with experimental support for more, such as GGUF files used for local chat models.

Who it's for

Students, researchers and developers who want to look inside AI models.
