Practical overview
When it fits
Use AI Blocks when you want to assemble a model visually and then run it in the editor or export a TensorFlow script. Python and TensorFlow are needed for running projects, while creating and editing can be done without them.
Who it is for
- People prototyping machine-learning or neural-network models through a visual editor.
- Python and TensorFlow users who want to edit model variables visually or export a standalone script.
Documented uses
- Arrange script-backed objects into a machine-learning model.
- Edit Python-script variables in the properties panel.
- Run a model within the editor.
- Export a model as a standalone TensorFlow script.
Requirements & limits
The project instructions describe downloading an archive and launching AI-Blocks.exe. They state that Python and TensorFlow are needed to run projects, but not to create or edit them.
- Model execution requires Python and TensorFlow; visual creation and editing do not.
- Models can be run in the editor or exported as standalone TensorFlow scripts.
- The project is JavaScript-based, and its source instructions use npm install, npm run test, and npm run pack.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install and open AI Blocks
Launch the desktop editor from a downloaded project archive.
Before you start
- A downloaded AI Blocks project archive.
Steps
Download the project archive.
Launch AI-Blocks.exe.
Expected outcome
The AI Blocks editor opens for creating or editing projects.
Guide limitations
- Python and TensorFlow are required to run projects, but not to create or edit them.
Build AI Blocks from source
Install the project dependencies and use the documented source build commands.
Before you start
- The AI Blocks source project.
- npm.
Steps
Run npm install.
Run npm run test to run the project from source.
Run npm run pack to build the project.
Expected outcome
The documented commands install dependencies, run the source project, and build it.
Guide limitations
- The instructions do not specify further environment or version requirements.
