[FIXED] Copying models in tensorflow

Issue

Suppose I have a tensorflow model model = My_model().

I'm trying to understand what the following line of code does:

model_b = tf.keras.Model(inputs=model.input, outputs=model.output)

Does it copy model's architecture? It's weight values?

Thanks

Solution

"model_b" will have the same architecture as "model", BUT this will NOT copy the weight values. That means that the two models will share the SAME set of weights. Use tf.keras.models.clone_model to make a distinct copy.
