Upload your model

After you have created your model, you can upload it to Nx AI Cloud to make it available on all your Nx Servers. Click the + icon in the sidebar to open the Add a model wizard.

The wizard walks you through five steps.

Step 1: Upload a model file

Drag and drop your model file into the upload area, or click the area to select a file from your file system. Supported formats include ONNX, TFLite, and ZIP (Teachable Machine, NetsPresso).

Add a model wizard showing the Upload a Model File step with a drag-and-drop area and
       supported format icons below
Step 1: drag and drop your model file or click to browse. Supported formats are listed below the upload area.

Once a file is selected, the filename appears in the upload area. Click Next to continue.

File selected: click Next to proceed to owner selection.

Step 2: Set an owner

If your account belongs to multiple organisations or channel partners, choose which one will own the model. If your account has only one organisation, it is pre-selected and you can click Next straight away.

       each with a Select button

If only one organisation is available, it is selected automatically.

Step 3: Catalogue

Optionally assign the model to a catalogue so it is grouped with related models and visible to specific sites or organisations. Type to search for an existing catalogue, or leave the field empty to skip.

Click Next to continue.

Step 4: Hardware support

Choose which additional hardware conversions to enable. Each enabled conversion generates an optimized model artifact for a specific AI accelerator and consumes compute tokens from your account.

       checked and a note that enabled conversions will require compute tokens
Select the hardware targets you need. Default ONNX is always enabled and covers CPU, Intel, and NVIDIA hardware.

If your model needs to run on Hailo or other specialized accelerators, enable those conversions here. Click Next to continue.

Step 5: Model details

Give your model a name and add documentation describing what it does, its input requirements, and any relevant notes. Both fields are required. The name is pre-filled from the filename; edit it to something descriptive.

Add a model wizard showing the Model details step with Name and Documentation fields
       filled in, and an Upload button at the bottom
Enter a clear name and documentation for your model, then click Upload.

Click Upload to start the transfer.

Uploading and processing

A progress bar shows the upload status. After the file is transferred, the cloud platform converts it for each selected hardware target. This can take several minutes depending on the model size and the number of enabled conversions.

The model is uploading: keep the page open until the progress reaches 100%.

When the upload completes you are taken to the model detail page. A notification confirms the upload and lets you know that an email will be sent when conversion finishes.
