2.1. Supported Models

The Intel® FPGA AI Suite supports the following pretrained models from OpenVINO™ Model Zoo:

In addition, the Intel® FPGA AI Suite supports certain signed INT8 symmetric quantized models that use neural network compression framework (NNCF) flows.

Customized models that are similar to the supported models or are derived from the above models are not supported, although in some cases they might work without modification.

The supplied example architectures (or IP Configurations) support all of the above models, except for the Small and Small_Softmax architectures that support only ResNet-50, MobileNet V1, and MobileNet V2.
