I tried this on tf version 2.16.1 & 2.13.0 on python 3.10 and 3.8 respectively. My model is not that big it is under an MB, but this should not cause problem.

CODE:

import tensorflow as tf

h5_model = tf.keras.models.load_model('helfen_1.h5')

converter = tf.lite.TFLiteConverter.from_keras_model(h5_model)

tflite_model = converter.convert()

with open('converted_model.tflite', 'wb') as f: f.write(tflite_model)

My thinking process onto this Error is probably due to multiple issues. I can lend a few ideas to the situation and anyone is free to correct me, if I'm wrong about it.

First, I would check to see if the TenserFlow compiler is updated to the versions you're using. Maybe it could cause these issues. As it did suggest rebuild TenserFlow with appropriate compiler.

Second, I would double check to see if the versions are even compatible. That could be causing issues.

Hi @MuhammadBilal848 ,

Since TF2.16 uses Keras3 by default.In Keras3 saving to the TF SavedModel format via model.save() is no longer supported in Keras 3. Please refer to migration guide for some more details.

[MuhammadBilal848]

So I trained another just to check and used model.export("FOLDER_NAME") instead model.save("model.h5"). Got this as output,

and the folder is saved with assets , variables , pb file and fingerprint:

I load the model using tf.keras.layers.TFSMLayer("FOLDER_NAME", call_endpoint="serving_default")

It worked. @SuryanarayanaY Thank you 🖤

Also could you tell me how can I convert the pd model to h5? I want to convert the model to tflite.

Hi @MuhammadBilal848 ,

Thanks for confirmation and happy that it worked. Could you please mark this issue as closed. Thanks!

Hello.. After upgrading the following packages, the original problem of loading the h5 file was seemingly solved. !pip install --upgrade tensorflow !pip install --upgrade keras

On Google Colab..
