To convert models to Core ML, you can follow these steps as outlined in various WWDC sessions:
-
Model Preparation:
- Start with a trained model, typically in a format like PyTorch.
- Use Core ML tools to convert the model into the Core ML format. This process involves specifying inputs and outputs, and potentially states if the model requires them (e.g., for key-value caching in transformers).
-
Optimization:
- Core ML tools offer various optimization techniques such as quantization and efficient key-value caching. These techniques help in reducing the model size and improving performance on Apple hardware.
- You can also use model compression techniques to further optimize the model. For example, using linear quantization to reduce the model size.
-
Integration:
- Once the model is converted and optimized, integrate it into your app using Apple's frameworks. Core ML automatically segments the model across CPU, GPU, and neural engine to maximize hardware utilization.
- You can manage the execution of machine learning tasks using frameworks like Metal Performance Shaders for GPU workloads or Accelerate for CPU tasks.
