Complete Beginner Guide

Don't have a model yet? No problem. Follow these steps to analyze your first model in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Install HaoLine

pip install haoline[llm]

This installs HaoLine with chart generation and AI summary support.

Step 2: Get a Model to Analyze

Option A: Download a pre-trained model from Hugging Face

# Install huggingface_hub if you don't have it
pip install huggingface_hub

# Download a small image classification model (MobileNet, ~14MB)
python -c "from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download; hf_hub_download('onnx/models', 'validated/vision/classification/mobilenet/model/mobilenetv2-7.onnx', local_dir='.')"

Option B: Use your own model

If you have a .onnx, .pt, .pth, or TensorFlow SavedModel, you can analyze it directly.

Option C: Convert a PyTorch model

# HaoLine can convert PyTorch models on the fly
haoline --from-pytorch your_model.pt --input-shape 1,3,224,224 --out-html report.html

Step 3: Set Up AI Summaries (Optional but Recommended)

To get AI-generated executive summaries, set your OpenAI API key:

# Linux/macOS
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

# Windows PowerShell
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "sk-..."

# Or create a .env file in your working directory
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-..." > .env

Get your API key at: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

Step 4: Generate Your Full Report

haoline mobilenetv2-7.onnx \
  --out-html report.html \
  --include-graph \
  --llm-summary \
  --hardware auto

This generates report.html containing:

• Model architecture overview
• Parameter counts and FLOPs analysis
• Memory requirements
• Interactive neural network graph (zoomable, searchable)
• AI-generated executive summary
• Hardware performance estimates for your GPU

Open report.html in your browser to explore your model!

Web Interface

Launch the HaoLine web UI with a single command:

pip install haoline[web]
haoline-web

This opens an interactive dashboard at http://localhost:8501 with:

Compare Model Variants

Compare different quantizations or architectures side-by-side:

haoline-compare \
  --models resnet_fp32.onnx resnet_fp16.onnx resnet_int8.onnx \
  --eval-metrics eval_fp32.json eval_fp16.json eval_int8.json \
  --baseline-precision fp32 \
  --out-html comparison.html \
  --with-charts

Or use the web UI's comparison mode for an interactive experience.

Security Notice

⚠️ Loading untrusted models is inherently risky.

Like PyTorch's torch.load(), HaoLine uses pickle when loading certain model formats. These can execute arbitrary code if the model file is malicious.

Best practices:

• Only analyze models from trusted sources
• Run in a sandboxed environment (Docker, VM) when analyzing unknown models
• Review model provenance before loading

Etymology

HaoLine (皓线) combines:

• 皓 (hào) = "bright, luminous" in Chinese
• Line = the paths through your neural network

"Illuminating the architecture of your models."
