OpenVINO™ is an open-source toolkit for optimizing and deploying AI inference.
- Boost deep learning performance in computer vision, automatic speech recognition, natural language processing and other common tasks
- Use models trained with popular frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch and more
- Reduce resource demands and efficiently deploy on a range of Intel® platforms from edge to cloud
This open-source version includes several components: namely OpenVINO Model Converter (OVC), OpenVINO™ Runtime, as well as CPU, GPU, multi device and heterogeneous plugins to accelerate deep learning inference on Intel® CPUs and Intel® Processor Graphics. It supports pre-trained models from Open Model Zoo, along with 100+ open source and public models in popular formats such as TensorFlow, ONNX, PaddlePaddle, MXNet, Caffe, Kaldi.
- OpenVINO™ Runtime - is a set of C++ libraries with C and Python bindings providing a common API to deliver inference solutions on the platform of your choice.
- core - provides the base API for model representation and modification.
- inference - provides an API to infer models on the device.
- transformations - contains the set of common transformations which are used in OpenVINO plugins.
- low precision transformations - contains the set of transformations that are used in low precision models
- bindings - contains all available OpenVINO bindings which are maintained by the OpenVINO team.
- Plugins - contains OpenVINO plugins which are maintained in open-source by the OpenVINO team. For more information, take a look at the list of supported devices.
- Frontends - contains available OpenVINO frontends that allow reading models from the native framework format.
- OpenVINO Model Converter (OVC) - is a cross-platform command-line tool that facilitates the transition between training and deployment environments, and adjusts deep learning models for optimal execution on end-point target devices.
- Samples - applications in C, C++ and Python languages that show basic OpenVINO use cases.
The OpenVINO™ Runtime can infer models on different hardware devices. This section provides the list of supported devices.

OpenVINO™ Toolkit also contains several plugins which simplify loading models on several hardware devices:
| Plugin | Library | Short Description |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | openvino_auto_plugin | Auto plugin enables selecting Intel device for inference automatically |
| Auto Batch | openvino_auto_batch_plugin | Auto batch plugin performs on-the-fly automatic batching (i.e. grouping inference requests together) to improve device utilization, with no programming effort from the user |
| Hetero | openvino_hetero_plugin | Heterogeneous execution enables automatic inference splitting between several devices |
| Multi | openvino_auto_plugin | Multi plugin enables simultaneous inference of the same model on several devices in parallel |
