<p>After training a scikit-learn model, it is desirable to have a way to persist
the model for future use without having to retrain. Based on your use-case,
there are a few different ways to persist a scikit-learn model, and here we
help you decide which one suits you best. In order to make a decision, you need
to answer the following questions:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Do you need the Python object after persistence, or do you only need to
persist in order to serve the model and get predictions out of it?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you only need to serve the model and no further investigation on the Python
object itself is required, then <a class="reference internal" href="#onnx-persistence"><span class="std std-ref">ONNX</span></a> might be the
best fit for you. Note that not all models are supported by ONNX.</p>
<p>In case ONNX is not suitable for your use-case, the next question is:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="2">
<li><p>Do you absolutely trust the source of the model, or are there any security
concerns regarding where the persisted model comes from?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you have security concerns, then you should consider using <a class="reference internal" href="#skops-persistence"><span class="std std-ref">skops.io</span></a> which gives you back the Python object, but unlike
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code> based persistence solutions, loading the persisted model doesn’t
automatically allow arbitrary code execution. Note that this requires manual
investigation of the persisted file, which <a class="reference external" href="https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modules/classes.html#module-skops.io" title="(in skops)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">skops.io</span></code></a> allows you to do.</p>
<p>The other solutions assume you absolutely trust the source of the file to be
loaded, as they are all susceptible to arbitrary code execution upon loading
the persisted file since they all use the pickle protocol under the hood.</p>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="3">
<li><p>Do you care about the performance of loading the model, and sharing it
between processes where a memory mapped object on disk is beneficial?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If yes, then you can consider using <a class="reference internal" href="#pickle-persistence"><span class="std std-ref">joblib</span></a>. If this
is not a major concern for you, then you can use the built-in <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#module-pickle" title="(in Python v3.13)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code></a>
module.</p>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="4">
<li><p>Did you try <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#module-pickle" title="(in Python v3.13)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code></a> or <a class="reference external" href="https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#module-joblib" title="(in joblib v1.5.dev0)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">joblib</span></code></a> and found that the model cannot
be persisted? It can happen for instance when you have user defined
functions in your model.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If yes, then you can use <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle">cloudpickle</a> which can serialize certain objects
which cannot be serialized by <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#module-pickle" title="(in Python v3.13)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code></a> or <a class="reference external" href="https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#module-joblib" title="(in joblib v1.5.dev0)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">joblib</span></code></a>.</p>

<h2><span class="section-number">10.1. </span>Workflow Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#workflow-overview" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
<p>In a typical workflow, the first step is to train the model using scikit-learn
and scikit-learn compatible libraries. Note that support for scikit-learn and
third party estimators varies across the different persistence methods.</p>

<p>Once the model is trained, you can persist it using your desired method, and
then you can load the model in a separate environment and get predictions from
it given input data. Here there are two major paths depending on how you
persist and plan to serve the model:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="#onnx-persistence"><span class="std std-ref">ONNX</span></a>: You need an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ONNX</span></code> runtime and an environment
with appropriate dependencies installed to load the model and use the runtime
to get predictions. This environment can be minimal and does not necessarily
even require Python to be installed to load the model and compute
predictions. Also note that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">onnxruntime</span></code> typically requires much less RAM
than Python to compute predictions from small models.</p></li>
<li><p><a class="reference external" href="https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modules/classes.html#module-skops.io" title="(in skops)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">skops.io</span></code></a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#module-pickle" title="(in Python v3.13)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code></a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#module-joblib" title="(in joblib v1.5.dev0)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">joblib</span></code></a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle">cloudpickle</a>: You need a
Python environment with the appropriate dependencies installed to load the
model and get predictions from it. This environment should have the same
<strong>packages</strong> and the same <strong>versions</strong> as the environment where the model was
trained. Note that none of these methods support loading a model trained with
a different version of scikit-learn, and possibly different versions of other
dependencies such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">numpy</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scipy</span></code>. Another concern would be running
the persisted model on a different hardware, and in most cases you should be
able to load your persisted model on a different hardware.</p></li>

<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ONNX</span></code> is a binary serialization of the model. It has been developed to improve
the usability of the interoperable representation of data models. It aims to
facilitate the conversion of the data models between different machine learning

not all scikit-learn models are supported, and it is limited to the core
scikit-learn and does not support most third party estimators. One can write a
custom converter for third party or custom estimators, but the documentation to
do that is sparse and it might be challenging to do so.</p>

<p class="sd-card-text">Depending on your use-case, you can choose one of these three methods to
persist and load your scikit-learn model, and they all follow the same API:</p>

</div>
<p class="sd-card-text">Using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">protocol=5</span></code> is recommended to reduce memory usage and make it faster to
store and load any large NumPy array stored as a fitted attribute in the model.
You can alternatively pass <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">protocol=pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL</span></code> which is
equivalent to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">protocol=5</span></code> in Python 3.8 and later (at the time of writing).</p>
<p class="sd-card-text">And later when needed, you can load the same object from the persisted file:</p>

<p><a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#module-pickle" title="(in Python v3.13)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code></a> (and <a class="reference external" href="https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#module-joblib" title="(in joblib v1.5.dev0)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">joblib</span></code></a> and <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cloudpickle</span></code> by extension), has
many documented security vulnerabilities by design and should only be used if
the artifact, i.e. the pickle-file, is coming from a trusted and verified
source. You should never load a pickle file from an untrusted source, similarly
to how you should never execute code from an untrusted source.</p>
<p>Also note that arbitrary computations can be represented using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ONNX</span></code>
format, and it is therefore recommended to serve models using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ONNX</span></code> in a
sandboxed environment to safeguard against computational and memory exploits.</p>
<p>Also note that there are no supported ways to load a model trained with a
different version of scikit-learn. While using <a class="reference external" href="https://skops.readthedocs.io/en/stable/modules/classes.html#module-skops.io" title="(in skops)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">skops.io</span></code></a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#module-joblib" title="(in joblib v1.5.dev0)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">joblib</span></code></a>,
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#module-pickle" title="(in Python v3.13)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pickle</span></code></a>, or <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle">cloudpickle</a>, models saved using one version of
scikit-learn might load in other versions, however, this is entirely
unsupported and inadvisable. It should also be kept in mind that operations
performed on such data could give different and unexpected results, or even
crash your Python process.</p>
<p>In order to rebuild a similar model with future versions of scikit-learn,
additional metadata should be saved along the pickled model:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>The training data, e.g. a reference to an immutable snapshot</p></li>
<li><p>The Python source code used to generate the model</p></li>
<li><p>The versions of scikit-learn and its dependencies</p></li>
<li><p>The cross validation score obtained on the training data</p></li>
</ul>
<p>This should make it possible to check that the cross-validation score is in the
same range as before.</p>
<p>Aside for a few exceptions, persisted models should be portable across
operating systems and hardware architectures assuming the same versions of
dependencies and Python are used. If you encounter an estimator that is not
portable, please open an issue on GitHub. Persisted models are often deployed
in production using containers like Docker, in order to freeze the environment
and dependencies.</p>
