Cast#

  • Domain: ai.onnx

  • Since version: 25

The operator casts the elements of a given input tensor to a data type specified by the ‘to’ argument and returns an output tensor of the same size in the converted type. The ‘to’ argument must be one of the data types specified in the ‘DataType’ enum field in the TensorProto message.

Inputs

  • input (T1): Input tensor to be cast.

Outputs

  • output (T2): Output tensor with the same shape as input with type specified by the ‘to’ argument

Type Constraints

  • T1: Constrain input types. Casting from complex is not supported. Allowed types: tensor(bfloat16), tensor(bool), tensor(double), tensor(float), tensor(float16), tensor(float4e2m1), tensor(float8e4m3fn), tensor(float8e4m3fnuz), tensor(float8e5m2), tensor(float8e5m2fnuz), tensor(float8e8m0), tensor(int16), tensor(int2), tensor(int32), tensor(int4), tensor(int64), tensor(int8), tensor(string), tensor(uint16), tensor(uint2), tensor(uint32), tensor(uint4), tensor(uint64), tensor(uint8).

  • T2: Constrain output types. Casting to complex is not supported. Allowed types: tensor(bfloat16), tensor(bool), tensor(double), tensor(float), tensor(float16), tensor(float4e2m1), tensor(float8e4m3fn), tensor(float8e4m3fnuz), tensor(float8e5m2), tensor(float8e5m2fnuz), tensor(float8e8m0), tensor(int16), tensor(int2), tensor(int32), tensor(int4), tensor(int64), tensor(int8), tensor(string), tensor(uint16), tensor(uint2), tensor(uint32), tensor(uint4), tensor(uint64), tensor(uint8).
