Hi, Would it be worth using NNEF (Neural Network Exchange Format)[1] to describe the neural network in mlcodec-opus-dred? This has been standardized and would allow for conversion of the model to allow it to be easily incorporated into other inference engines. ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) [2] would be another possibility, but this uses protobuf which has not been standardized.
