MNN Export for YOLO11 Models and Deploy
MNN
MNN is a highly efficient and lightweight deep learning framework. It supports inference and training of deep learning models and has industry-leading performance for inference and training on-device. At present, MNN has been integrated into more than 30 apps of Alibaba Inc, such as Taobao, Tmall, Youku, DingTalk, Xianyu, etc., covering more than 70 usage scenarios such as live broadcast, short video capture, search recommendation, product searching by image, interactive marketing, equity distribution, security risk control. In addition, MNN is also used on embedded devices, such as IoT.
Export to MNN: Converting Your YOLO11 Model
You can expand model compatibility and deployment flexibility by converting YOLO11 models to MNN format.
Installation
To install the required packages, run:
!!! tip "Installation"
=== "CLI"
```bash
# Install the required package for YOLO11 and MNN
pip install ultralytics
pip install MNN
```
Usage
Before diving into the usage instructions, it's important to note that while all Ultralytics YOLO11 models are available for exporting, you can ensure that the model you select supports export functionality here.
!!! example "Usage"
=== "Python"
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load the YOLO11 model
model = YOLO("yolo11n.pt")
# Export the model to MNN format
model.export(format="mnn") # creates 'yolo11n.mnn'
# Load the exported MNN model
mnn_model = YOLO("yolo11n.mnn")
# Run inference
results = mnn_model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg")
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
# Export a YOLO11n PyTorch model to MNN format
yolo export model=yolo11n.pt format=mnn # creates 'yolo11n.mnn'
# Run inference with the exported model
yolo predict model='yolo11n.mnn' source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg'
```
For more details about supported export options, visit the Ultralytics documentation page on deployment options.
MNN-Only Inference
A function that relies solely on MNN for YOLO11 inference and preprocessing is implemented, providing both Python and C++ versions for easy deployment in any scenario.

model.export(format="mnn", half=True) # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with fp16 weight
model.export(format="mnn", int8=True) # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with int8 weight
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
yolo export model=yolo11n.pt format=mnn # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with fp32 weight
yolo export model=yolo11n.pt format=mnn half=True # creates 'yolo11n.mnn' with fp16 weight

results = mnn_model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg", half=True) # predict with `fp16` if device support
for result in results:
result.show() # display to screen
result.save(filename="result.jpg") # save to disk
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
yolo predict model='yolo11n.mnn' source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' # predict with `fp32`
yolo predict model='yolo11n.mnn' source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' --half=True # predict with `fp16` if device support
```
