Is it possible to upload .mlmodel files over wifi insetad of having them embedded?

Question

I'm planning to use some models with over 500MB size and I don't want them embedded otherwise my app will be huge which is not really desirable.

Thanks,

This is possible. After downloading the model, compile it using:

let compiledUrl = try MLModel.compileModel(at: modelUrl)
let model = try MLModel(contentsOf: compiledUrl)

The compiled model will be stored in a temporary location. After compilation completes, you should move it to a permanent location.
