Neural Networks Compression Framework

The Neural Networks Compression Framework (NNCF) is a Python library developed by Intel as part of the OpenVINO Toolkit, providing advanced algorithms for optimizing deep learning models for faster and smaller inference. It supports models from PyTorch, TensorFlow (deprecated), ONNX, and OpenVINO IR formats, offering techniques such as Post-Training Quantization, Quantization-Aware Training, Weight Compression, and Pruning. NNCF is actively maintained with frequent releases, with the current stable version being 3.1.0.
