Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for onnx/onnx-mlir focusing on the PyRuntimeC workstream. Key features delivered include a PyRuntimeC Light Build Option that enables building the Python driver without requiring the full onnx-mlir compiler or llvm_project. This work involved refactoring installation and testing procedures to improve usability and flexibility for users who only need the Python driver. Overall, this reduces dependency footprint and build times while broadening accessibility for Python-centric workflows.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 Monthly Summary focusing on feature delivery in ONNX-MLIR for the PyTorch ecosystem. The primary deliverable was the ONNX-MLIR PyTorch Driver (onnxmlirtorch), enabling a Python-based workflow to export PyTorch models to ONNX, compile them into shared libraries, and run inferences. This work establishes a repeatable path for deploying PyTorch models via ONNX-MLIR, with integration into PyTorch where possible and configurable options for compiler paths, container images, and compilation flags. No major bugs were reported this month; the effort centered on feature delivery, tooling, and preparing for broader adoption. Core impact: - Foundation for streamlined PyTorch-to-ONNX-MLIR deployment - End-to-end workflow from export to inference in a compiled runtime - Platform-agnostic deployment via configurable environments and flags
