Pete Warden breaks out the shrink ray:
I’ve been using the ONNX Runtime a lot recently, and while it has been a lot of fun, there are a few things I’ve missed from the TensorFlow Lite world. The biggest (no pun intended) is the lack of tools to shrink the model file size, something that’s always been essential in the mobile app world. You can quantize using the standard ONNX tools, but in my experience you’ll often run into accuracy problems because all of the calculations are done at lower precision. These are usually fixable, but require some time and effort.
Read on for Pete’s preferred alternative and a new tool to help with this.
