the ONNX format does: standardizes model representation for cross-framework deployment

ONNX standardizes machine learning model representation

ONNX provides a unified format for machine learning models, facilitating interoperability across different frameworks and platforms.

Example

A PyTorch model can be converted to ONNX and then used in a TensorFlow environment.

Remember this

Standardization simplifies the process of deploying models across various platforms and tools.
