Release Manager: @apsonawane

Announcements

  • All ONNX Runtime Training packages have been deprecated. ORT 1.19.2 was the last release for which onnxruntime-training (PyPI), onnxruntime-training-cpu (PyPI), Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Training (Nuget), onnxruntime-training-c (CocoaPods), onnxruntime-training-objc (CocoaPods), and onnxruntime-training-android (Maven Central) were published.
  • ONNX Runtime packages will stop supporting Python 3.8 and Python 3.9. This decision aligns with NumPy Python version support. To continue using ORT with Python 3.8 and Python 3.9, you can use ORT 1.19.2 and earlier.
  • ONNX Runtime 1.20 CUDA packages will include new dependencies that were not required in 1.19 packages. The following dependencies are new: libcudnn_adv.so.9, libcudnn_cnn.so.9, libcudnn_engines_precompiled.so.9, libcudnn_engines_runtime_compiled.so.9, libcudnn_graph.so.9, libcudnn_heuristic.so.9, libcudnn_ops.so.9, libnvrtc.so.12, and libz.so.1.

Build System & Packages

  • Python 3.13 support is included in PyPI packages.
  • ONNX 1.17 support will be delayed until a future release, but the ONNX version used by ONNX Runtime has been patched to include a shape inference change to the Einsum op.

  • The onnxruntime-mobile Android package and onnxruntime-mobile-c/onnxruntime-mobile-objc iOS cocoapods are being deprecated. Please use the onnxruntime-android Android package, and onnxruntime-c/onnxruntime-objc cocoapods, which support ONNX and ORT format models and all operators and data types. Note: If you require a smaller binary size, a custom build is required. See details on creating a custom Android or iOS package on Custom build | onnxruntime.

Build System & Packages

  • CoreML execution provider now depends on coremltools.
  • Flatbuffers has been upgraded from 1.12.0 → 23.5.26.

  • Added initial support for RISC-V and three new build options for it: --rv64, --riscv_toolchain_root, and --riscv_qemu_path.
  • Now you can build TensorRT EP with protobuf-lite instead of the full version of protobuf.
  • Some security-related compile/link flags have been moved from the default setting → new build option: --use_binskim_compliant_compile_flags. Note: All our release binaries are built with this flag, but when building ONNX Runtime from source, this flag is default OFF.
  • Windows ARM64 build now depends on PyTorch CPUINFO library.
  • Windows OneCore build now uses “Reverse forwarding” apisets instead of “Direct forwarding”, so onnxruntime.dll in our Nuget packages will depend on kernel32.dll. Note: Windows systems without kernel32.dll need to have reverse forwarders (see API set loader operation - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn for more information).

Announcements

In the next release, we will totally drop support for Windows ARM32.

General

Build System and Packages

  • Dropped CentOS 7 support. All Linux binaries now require glibc version >=2.28, but users can still build the source code for a lower glibc version.
  • Added CUDA 12 packages for Python and Nuget.
  • Added Python 3.12 packages for ONNX Runtime Inference. ONNX Runtime Training Python 3.12 packages cannot be provided at this time since training packages depend on PyTorch, which does not support Python 3.12 yet.
  • Linux binaries (except those in AMD GPU packages) are built in a more secure way that is compliant with BinSkim's default policy (e.g., the binaries no longer have an executable stack).
  • Added support for Windows ARM64X for users who build ONNX Runtime from source. No prebuilt package provided yet.
  • Removed Windows ARM32 binaries from official packages. Users who still need these binaries can build them from source.
  • Added AMD GPU package with ROCm and MiGraphX (Python + Linux only).
  • Split ONNX Runtime GPU Nuget package into two packages.
  • When building the source code for Linux ARM64 or Android, the C/C++ compiler must support BFloat16. Support for Android NDK 24.x has been removed. Please use NDK 25.x or 26.x instead.
  • Link time code generation (LTCG or LTO) is now disabled by default when building from source. To re-enable it, users can add "--enable_lto" to the build command. All prebuilt binaries are still built with LTO.

Core

  • Optimized graph inlining.
  • Allow custom op to invoke internal thread-pool for parallelism.
  • Added support for supplying a custom logger at the session level.
  • Added new logging and tracing of session and execution provider options.
  • Added new dynamic ETW provider that can trace/diagnose ONNX internals while maintaining great performance.

Training

Large Model Training

  • Enabled support for QLoRA (with support for BFloat16).
  • Added symbolic shape support for Triton codegen (see PR).
  • Made improvements to recompute optimizer with easy ON/OFF to allow layer-wise recompute (see PR).
  • Enabled memory-efficient gradient management. For Mistral, we see ~10GB drop in memory consumption when this feature is ON (see PR).
  • Enabled embedding sparsity optimizations.
  • Added support for Aten efficient attention and Triton Flash Attention (see PR).
  • Packages now available for CUDA 11.8 and 12.1.

On Device Training

  • On-Device training will now support training on the web. This release focuses on federated learning and developer exploration scenarios. More features coming soon in future releases.

Extensions

  • Modified gen_processing_model tokenizer model to output int64, unifying output datatype of all tokenizers.
  • Implemented support for post-processing of YOLO v8 within the Python extensions package.
  • Introduced 'fairseq' flag to enhance compatibility with certain Hugging Face tokenizers.
  • Incorporated 'added_token' attribute into the BPE tokenizer to improve CodeGen tokenizer functionality.
  • Enhanced the SentencePiece tokenizer by integrating token indices into the output.
  • Added support for the custom operator implemented with CUDA kernels, including two example operators.
  • Added more tests on the Hugging Face tokenizer and fixed identified bugs.

Known Issues

  • The onnxruntime-training package is not yet available in PyPI but can be accessed in ADO as follows:
    python -m pip install cerberus flatbuffers h5py numpy>=1.16.6 onnx packaging protobuf sympy setuptools>=41.4.0
    pip install -i https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/ORT/pypi/simple/ onnxruntime-training
    pip install torch-ort
    python -m torch_ort.configure
    
    Installation instructions can also be accessed here.
  • For models with int4 kernel only:
    • Crash may occur when int4 is applied on Intel CPUs with hybrid core if the E-cores are disabled in BIOS. Fix is in progress to be patched.
    • The "neural-speed" library used by int4 kernels has a bug that could lead to out-of-bounds memory read/write.
    • Performance regression on the int4 kernel on x64 makes the op following MatMulNBits much slower. Fix is in progress to be patched.
  • Current bug in BeamSearch implementation of T5, GPT, and Whisper may break models under heavy inference load using BeamSearch on CUDA. See #19345. Fix is in progress to be patched.
  • Full support of ONNX 1.15 opsets is still in progress. A list of new ONNX 1.15 opset support that has been included in this release can be found above in the 'General' section.
  • Some Cast nodes will not be removed (see #17953): Cast node from higher precision to lower precision (like fp32 to fp16) will be kept. If model result is different from ORT 1.16 and 1.17, check whether some Cast nodes was removed in 1.16 but kept in 1.17.
  • When running ONNX Runtime's python 3.12 package on Windows 11, you may see a warning like: “Unsupported Windows version (11). ONNX Runtime supports Windows 10 and above, only.” You may safely ignore it.
