P1-MODEL-003: 20 ISV Models — Architecture Analysis Report

Summary

Engage ISV partners to collect 20 partner models, analyze their architecture and export compatibility, and produce a structured analysis report covering architecture summary, export status, EP compatibility, and deployment gaps.

Context

ISV partner models are production models from software vendors — often fine-tuned, quantized, or using custom operators that standard pipelines don't handle. This analysis report is the primary deliverable (not full pipeline support).

This combines:

• plans/release/0315_release_plan/P1_CHECKLIST.md: P1-MODEL-001 (ISV Outreach), P1-MODEL-002 (ISV Analysis), P1-MODEL-003 (ISV Custom Support), P1-MODEL-004 (ISV Validation)
• plans/release/0501_release_plan/P0_CHECKLIST.md: P1-MODEL-003

Current State

• No ISV models collected or analyzed
• No ISV partner engagement initiated

Desired State

• 20 ISV models collected from 3-5 ISV partners
• Per-model analysis report: architecture, custom ops, export readiness, EP compatibility
• Deployment gap analysis: what's blocking production deployment on NPU/GPU targets
• Best-effort: attempt E2E pipeline; document failures with root cause

Acceptance Criteria

• 3-5 ISV partners engaged; 20 model samples collected
• Architecture analysis complete for all 20 models (model structure, op types, custom ops)
• Export attempt (ONNX) with failure root cause documented for each model
• EP compatibility analysis run on successfully exported models
• Analysis report published per model: architecture summary, export status, EP compat, gaps
• Deployment gap summary: top 5 blockers across all ISV models

Technical Notes

• Scope: analysis report is the primary deliverable — full pipeline support is best-effort only
• ISV categories: fine-tuned models, quantized production models, custom op models, hybrid architectures
• If no partner access, use public representative models as stand-ins
• Custom op handling: document what custom ops are present; implementation is out of scope

Start by reading plans/release/0501_release_plan/model-scale.md and the P1-MODEL-001~004 sections in plans/release/0315_release_plan/P1_CHECKLIST.md. Establish access to 3-5 partners or representative public models, then track the 20 analyses against the acceptance criteria. Done means each model has an architecture, export, compatibility, and gap report, plus a top-five deployment blocker summary.
