Import for Keras or TF¶

Robot 1

Is there a way to import .tf or .keras models?

We don’t allow any form of model import (.pmml, .tf, .keras, .h5, .json etc.), except for custom models. That said, you can use custom models to do whatever you want, including importing whatever you wish.

I have a customer trying to do Custom Inference. Can he use this or only .h5? I don't really understand the tradeoff of one version of the model objects versus another. I've only used .h5 and JSON. I think he was also curious if we have any support for importing JSON weights.

We do not support importing model files, except for custom models—he'll need to write a custom inference model to load the file and score data.

But yes, we support custom inference models. You can do literally whatever you want in custom inference models.

Thanks, sorry if I'm being dense / confused—so with Custom Inference he should be able to load the .pb, .tf, .keras files?

Robot 2

Yes. He will need to write his own Python code. So if he can write a Python script to load the .pd, .tf, .keras, or .whatever file and score data with it, he can make that script a custom inference model.

Ohhh of course :) now I understand. Duh, Robot 1. Thanks!
