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.
