MNN Export for YOLO11 Models and Deploy
MNN
MNN is a highly efficient and lightweight deep learning framework. It supports inference and training of deep learning models and has industry-leading performance for inference and training on-device. At present, MNN has been integrated into more than 30 apps of Alibaba Inc, such as Taobao, Tmall, Youku, DingTalk, Xianyu, etc., covering more than 70 usage scenarios such as live broadcast, short video capture, search recommendation, product searching by image, interactive marketing, equity distribution, security risk control. In addition, MNN is also used on embedded devices, such as IoT.
Export to MNN: Converting Your YOLO11 Model
You can expand model compatibility and deployment flexibility by converting YOLO11 models to MNN format.
安装

使用方法
Before diving into the usage instructions, it's important to note that while all Ultralytics YOLO11 models are available for exporting, you can ensure that the model you select supports export functionality here.
使用方法
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load the YOLO11 model
model = YOLO("yolo11n.pt")
# Export the model to MNN format
model.export(format="mnn") # creates 'yolo11n.mnn'
# Load the exported MNN model
mnn_model = YOLO("yolo11n.mnn")
# Run inference
results = mnn_model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg")

MNN-Only Inference
A function that relies solely on MNN for YOLO11 inference and preprocessing is implemented, providing both Python and C++ versions for easy deployment in any scenario.

How do I export Ultralytics YOLO11 models to MNN format?
To export your Ultralytics YOLO11 model to MNN format, follow these steps:
出口
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load the YOLO11 model
model = YOLO("yolo11n.pt")
# Export to MNN format
model.export(format="mnn") # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with fp32 weight
model.export(format="mnn", half=True) # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with fp16 weight
model.export(format="mnn", int8=True) # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with int8 weight

results = mnn_model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg", half=True) # predict with `fp16` if device support
for result in results:
result.show() # display to screen
result.save(filename="result.jpg") # save to disk
