Frequently Asked Questions

What benefits do embedded ML models provide over hosted AI services?

When you embed and AI/ML model inside your Mendix application, your model and application run inside the same node. This provides many benefits when compare to hosted third-party AI services, such as:

  • Better performance
  • Less latency
  • Lower transactional cost
  • Better data security and privacy
  • Faster time to market
Where can I find pre-trained models for my smart application?

You can see what is available in the ONNX Zoo, which is a collection of pre-trained, state-of-the-art models in the ONNX format contributed by its community members.

If you can’t find what you are looking for in the ONNX Zoo, then any model created by TensorFlow, PyTorch, Caffe, Keras, Wolfram, spaCy, or other AI framework that can convert their models into ONNX format can be used within your Mendix applications.

Many models are also available on Hugging Face.

Am I limited to using only one type of AI capabilities per application (embedded or hosted)?

No, you can use a combination of embedded and hosted AI capabilities.

Mendix provides a unified, integrated developer experience with a wealth of AI services and models at your fingertips. Compose solutions from a multitude of AP capabilities to create new and innovative digital experiences for customer and employees.
