Enum ModelCompressionMode

Namespace

AiDotNet.Enums

Assembly

AiDotNet.dll

Defines the mode of model compression to apply during serialization.

public enum ModelCompressionMode

Fields

Automatic = 1

The system automatically selects the best compression strategy based on model characteristics.

For Beginners: This is the recommended default. The system analyzes your model and chooses the compression approach that provides the best balance of size reduction and accuracy preservation. Like auto settings on a camera, it works well for most cases.

Full = 3

Compresses the entire serialized model including all metadata.

For Beginners: This provides maximum compression by compressing everything. Best for production deployment where you want the smallest possible file size and don't need to inspect the model contents directly.

None = 0

No compression is applied. The model is stored at full size.

For Beginners: Use this when you need maximum accuracy and don't care about file size, or when debugging to ensure compression isn't affecting your results.

WeightsOnly = 2

Compresses only the model weights, leaving other metadata uncompressed.

For Beginners: Weights are the learned parameters that make up most of a model's size. This mode compresses just those weights while keeping configuration and metadata readable. Good when you need to inspect model settings but want smaller storage.

Remarks

For Beginners: Compression mode determines when and how your model gets compressed. Like choosing between automatically archiving files vs manually selecting what to archive, you can let the system decide the best approach or take control yourself.
