I am learning this new ONNX framework that allows us to deploy the deep learning (and others) model into production.
However, there is one thing I am missing. I thought that the main reason for having such a framework is so that for inference purposes e.g. when we have a trained model and want to use it in a different venv (where for example we cannot have PyTorch) the model still can be used.
I have preped a "from scratch" example here:

Firstly, we create a simple model and train it on the MNIST dataset.
Then we export the trained model using the ONNX framework.
Now, when I want to classify an image using the X_pred_np It works even though it is a "pure" NumPy, which is what I want.
However, I suspect that this particular case works only because it has been derived from the PyTorch tensor object, and thus "under the hood" it still has PyTorch attributes.
While when I try to inference on the random "pure" NumPy object IMG_Rando, there seems to be a problem:
Unexpected input data type. Actual: (tensor(double)) , expected: (tensor(float)).
Referring that PyTorch form is needed. Is there a way how to be able to use only numpy Images for the ONNX predictions?. So the inference can be performed in separated venv where no pytorch is installed?
Secondly, is there a way that ONNX would remember the actual classes?
In this particular case, the index corresponds to the label of the image. However, in animal classification, ONNX would not provide us with the "DOG" and "CAT" and other labels but would only provide us the index of the predicted label. Which we would need to run throw our own "prediction dictionary" so we know that the fifth label is associated with "cat" and sixth label is associated with "dog" etc.
