HELP : failed to inference ONNX model

[MenestreauPrime]

When I tried to test the code from the "applied" course (Classification) :
First when I clic the button "What kind of cuisine can you make?" nothing happen :

So I check the consol and this error appears : "failed to inference ONNX model"

So I checked several times but the model is at the right place (same folder) and the model is called like this in the index.html :

Do you have an idea of what is missing here ? Maybe it's the node.js application that I download which is responsible of this.

That error usually means the browser (or runtime) cannot properly load or execute the ONNX model, even if the file is in the right folder. A few things you might want to check:

Path issue : Make sure the path to the model in your index.html matches exactly (relative paths like ./model.onnx vs /model.onnx can matter).

Serving the file : If you’re just opening index.html directly in the browser, the ONNX file may not be served correctly. Try running a simple local server (e.g., npx http-server or python -m http.server) so the file is delivered over HTTP.

Model compatibility : Ensure the model was exported in a format supported by the ONNX runtime you’re using (e.g., ONNX.js, onnxruntime-web). Some ops are not supported in the browser.

Check the console/network tab : Open DevTools → Network, and confirm that the ONNX file is actually being downloaded without a 404 or MIME-type error.

It’s unlikely that Node.js itself is the problem unless your setup depends on it for serving the files. Most of the time it’s either a file path issue or unsupported model ops.
