MLService

Inherits from: Instance → Object

MLService loads machine learning model bundles and produces MLSession objects used to run inference on the client. It fetches a model asset and constructs a neural network session from the downloaded bundle, which the returned MLSession then executes.

MLService:CreateSessionAsync

Fetches the model bundle identified by assetId, constructs a neural network session from it, and resolves with a MLSession wrapping that session. As a yield function, it returns only once the model has been downloaded and the session created; if the asset cannot be fetched or the bundle is invalid, it raises an error instead of returning a session.

Parameters

NameTypeDefaultDescription
assetIdstringThe asset ID of the model bundle to load.

Returns

TypeDescription
MLSessionAn MLSession created from the loaded model bundle.
FieldValue
tags["Yields"]
securityNone
thread safetyUnsafe
