Yes, if you need to edit ONNX operator parameters post-export. Low install friction, no dependencies, permissive license, and straightforward API make it a practical choice for model tweaking. Aging maintenance (189 days since last release) is a minor concern but not a blocker for a stable utility tool. Verify that graph-level side effects of your edits are acceptable before relying on it in production pipelines.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

- Low friction: pure Python wheel with no runtime dependencies.
- Maintenance status is aging—last release 189 days ago—but the repository remains active and targets current Python versions.

What it is and what it does
sam4onnx is a lightweight utility for modifying operator attributes and constant inputs in ONNX models. It accepts either a file path to an .onnx model or an in-memory onnx.ModelProto object, locates a specified operator by name, and rewrites its attributes or the constants feeding into it. The tool operates on a single operator at a time and includes support for recursive modification within If operator subgraphs.
The package provides both a command-line interface and a Python API. It does not validate the overall graph integrity after modifications—that responsibility falls to the user. It is designed for simple, targeted edits rather than comprehensive model transformation, making it useful for quick parameter adjustments, debugging, or preparing models for deployment with modified hyperparameters.
Use it for
- Adjust operator attributes (e.g., transpose permutation, reshape dimensions) in an exported ONNX model without retraining.
- Modify constant tensor values feeding into operators to test different hyperparameters or thresholds.
- Batch-edit multiple models' parameters via CLI for deployment pipeline automation.
- Recursively update parameters in conditional branches (If operators) across a model's subgraph structure.
- Prepare quantized or pruned models by rewriting shape metadata or operator-specific configuration.
