Try Windows ML CLI with a UI

If you prefer a graphical interface, you can use the Foundry Toolkit extension for VS Code to run Windows ML CLI model conversion without typing commands.

Quick reference

  1. Install Visual Studio Code
  2. Install the Foundry Toolkit extension — search for Foundry Toolkit in the VS Code Extensions view
  3. Open the Model Conversion tool — in the Foundry Toolkit panel, select Model Conversion
  4. Choose your model — pick a model from Hugging Face, provide a local path, or select from the built-in model catalog filtered by Windows ML CLI
  5. Run the build — the extension invokes Windows ML CLI and streams the output to the VS Code terminal

For a full walkthrough, see Build with Windows ML CLI (Preview) in the VS Code documentation.
