usage: onnxify input_model.onnx [output_model.onnx]

onnxify command-line api

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --install-completion [{bash,pwsh}]
                        install shell completion for the specified shell and
                        exit.
  -a [ACTIVATE ...], --activate [ACTIVATE ...]
                        select passes to be activated, activate L1, L2 and L3
                        passes if not set.
  -r [REMOVE ...], --remove [REMOVE ...]
                        specify passes to be removed from activated passes.
  -n, --no-passes       do not run any optimizing passes, just convert the
                        model
  --print [PRINT]       print the name of all optimizing passes
  --format {protobuf,textproto,json,onnxtxt}
                        onnx file format
  -s, --infer-shapes    infer model shapes
  -c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
                        specify a json-format config file for passes
  -u, --uncheck         no checking output model
  --check               check optimized model with random inputs
  -d, --dry-run         only run passes without saving the output model
  --checker-backend {onnx,openvino,onnxruntime}
                        backend for accuracy checking, defaults to onnxruntime
  -v OPSET_VERSION, --opset-version OPSET_VERSION
                        target opset version, defaults to 20
  -vv [{DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}], --log-level [{DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}]
                        specify the level of log messages to be printed,
                        defaults to INFO
  -R, --recursive       recursively optimize nested functions
  --nodes [NODES ...]   specify a set of node names to apply passes only on
                        these nodes

To print pass information:

onnxify --print all
onnxify --print fuse_swish
onnxify --print l1

Shell Completion

onnxify provides tab-completion for Bash and PowerShell to help you quickly select pass names and options.

After installing onnxifier from PyPI, run the built-in installer once for your shell:

Bash

onnxify --install-completion bash
source ~/.bashrc

PowerShell

onnxify --install-completion pwsh
. $PROFILE

The installer is idempotent — running it again will not duplicate entries in your profile.

Once enabled, you can use Tab to complete pass names after -a / -r / --print, for example:

# Complete a single pass
onnxify model.onnx -a ins<TAB>
# → inspect_sparsity_ratio inspect_weights_distribution insert_conv_before_act_shave

# Complete multiple space-separated passes
onnxify model.onnx -a infer_shape fold_const<TAB>
# → fold_constant

# Complete comma-separated passes
onnxify model.onnx -a fuse_gelu,ins<TAB>
# → fuse_gelu,inspect_sparsity_ratio ...

# Complete --print arguments
onnxify --print l<TAB>
# → l1 l2 l3

Custom Domain Shape Inference

ONNXifier supports shape inference for custom domain ops (e.g., trt::CausalConv1d, com.microsoft::MyOp) through a registration API.

Usage

Shape inference for domain ops is automatic when using the --infer-shapes flag:

onnxify model_with_trt_ops.onnx --infer-shapes

Registering Shape Inference for Custom Ops

Developers register shape inference using ONNXScript functions. The decorator inserts the function into the model during infer_shapes, then cleans it up afterward.

import onnxscript
from onnxscript.onnx_opset import opset19 as op
from onnxscript.values import Opset

from onnxifier.domain.shape_inference import register_shape_inference

@register_shape_inference("com.mycompany", "MyOp")
@onnxscript.script(Opset("com.mycompany", 1), default_opset=op)
def my_op_shape_infer(input_0, input_1):
    # Return shapes for each output
    return op.Identity(input_0), op.Identity(input_1)

If domain/op_type are omitted, they are inferred from the ONNXScript function metadata:

@register_shape_inference()  # Uses function.name and function.opset.domain
@onnxscript.script(Opset("com.mycompany", 1), default_opset=op)
def MyOp(input_0):
    return op.Identity(input_0)

See quickstart.md for detailed examples.

TODO

• [OV] Add Loop support.
• [OV] Add NMS support.
• [OV] Add If support.
• [ONNX] Support to optimize If.
