Description
session.model_external_initializers_file_folder_pathapplies to file-path and memory-buffer model loads.ep.context_file_pathwhenever the external-initializer folder option is used in EPContext workflows.ep.context_file_pathis strictly required.Motivation
The external-initializer option changes the model directory used internally. When an
EPContextmodel uses a separate context binary, explicitly settingep.context_file_pathkeeps the EPContext model location available and avoids resolving the binary from the initializer directory.
