“We use ONNX Runtime to easily deploy thousands of open-source state-of-the-art models in the Hugging Face model hub and accelerate private models for customers of the Accelerated Inference API on CPU and GPU.”

– Morgan Funtowicz, Machine Learning Engineer, Hugging Face

“The ONNX Runtime API for Java enables Java developers and Oracle customers to seamlessly consume and execute ONNX machine-learning models, while taking advantage of the expressive power, high performance, and scalability of Java.”

– Stephen Green, Director of Machine Learning Research Group, Oracle

“With ONNX Runtime, Adobe Target got flexibility and standardization in one package: flexibility for our customers to train ML models in the frameworks of their choice, and standardization to robustly deploy those models at scale for fast inference, to deliver true, real-time personalized experiences.”

– Georgiana Copil, Senior Computer Scientist, Adobe

“With customers around the globe, we’re seeing increased interest in deploying more effective models to power pricing solutions via ONNX Runtime. ONNX Runtime’s performance has given us the confidence to use this solution with our customers with more extreme transaction volume requirements.”

– Jason Coverston, Product Director, Navitaire

“ONNX Runtime has vastly increased Vespa.ai’s capacity for evaluating large models, both in performance and model types we support.”

– Lester Solbakken, Principal Engineer, Vespa.ai, Verizon Media

“Using a common model and code base, the ONNX Runtime allows Peakspeed to easily flip between platforms to help our customers choose the most cost-effective solution based on their infrastructure and requirements.”

– Oscar Kramer, Chief Geospatial Scientist, Peakspeed

“The unique combination of ONNX Runtime and SAS Event Stream Processing changes the game for developers and systems integrators by supporting flexible pipelines and enabling them to target multiple hardware platforms for the same AI models without bundling and packaging changes. This is crucial considering the additional build and test effort saved on an ongoing basis.”

– Saurabh Mishra, Senior Manager, Product Management, Internet of Things, SAS

“We use ONNX Runtime to accelerate model training for a 300M+ parameters model that powers code autocompletion in Visual Studio IntelliCode.”

– Neel Sundaresan, Director SW Engineering, Data & AI, Developer Division, Microsoft

“At CERN in the ATLAS experiment, we have integrated the C++ API of ONNX Runtime into our software framework: Athena. We are currently performing inferences using ONNX models especially in the reconstruction of electrons and muons. We are benefiting from its C++ compatibility, platform-to-ONNX converters ( Keras, TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc) and its thread safety.”

– ATLAS Experiment team, CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research)

“We needed a runtime engine to handle the transition from data science land to a high-performance production runtime system. ONNX Runtime (ORT) simply ‘just worked’. Having no previous experience with ORT, I was able to easily convert my models, and had prototypes running inference in multiple languages within just a few hours. ORT will be my go-to runtime engine for the foreseeable future.”

– Bill McCrary, Application Architect, Samtec

“ONNX Runtime’s simple C API with DirectML provider enabled Topaz Labs to add support for AMD GPUs and NVIDIA Tensor Cores in just a couple of days. Furthermore, our models load many times faster on GPU than any other frameworks. Even our larger models with about 100 million parameters load within seconds.”

– Suraj Raghuraman, Head of AI Engine, Topaz Labs

“At GhostWriter.AI, we integrate NLP models in different international markets and regulated industries. Our customers use many technology stacks and frameworks, which change over time. With ONNX Runtime, we can provide maximum performance combined with the total flexibility of making inferences using the technology our customers prefer, from Python to C#, deploying where they choose, from cloud to embedded systems.”

– Mauro Bennici, CTO, Ghostwriter.AI
