SavedModel Image Format

Everything related to the SavedModel Image format belongs in this directory. If you are a TensorFlow Python user, you can try this format by setting the experimental_image_format option:

tf.savedmodel.save(
    model, path,
    options=tf.saved_model.SaveOptions(experimental_image_format=True)
)

When this option is enabled, exported SavedModels with proto size > 2GB will automatically save with the new format (.cpb instead of .pb).

The official TF APIs (TF1/TF2 python or C++ loading) have already been integrated to handle the new format, but some downstream converters may not have been updated.
