+
+This document outlines the TensorFlow types available in Flyte, which facilitate the integration of TensorFlow models and datasets in Flyte workflows.

+
+## Tensorflow model
+Flyte supports the TensorFlow SavedModel format for serializing and deserializing `tf.keras.Model` instances. The `TensorFlowModelTransformer` is responsible for handling these transformations.
+
+### Transformer
+- **Name:** TensorFlow Model
+- **Class:** `TensorFlowModelTransformer`
+- **Python Type:** `tf.keras.Model`
+- **Blob Format:** `TensorFlowModel`
+- **Dimensionality:** `MULTIPART`
+
+### Usage
+The `TensorFlowModelTransformer` allows you to save a TensorFlow model to a remote location and retrieve it later in your Flyte workflows.
+
+```{note}
+To clone and run the example code on this page, see the [Flytesnacks repo][flytesnacks].

+
+## TFRecord files
+Flyte supports TFRecord files through the TFRecordFile type, which can handle serialized TensorFlow records. The TensorFlowRecordFileTransformer manages the conversion of TFRecord files to and from Flyte literals.
+
+### Transformer
+- **Name:** TensorFlow Record File
+- **Class:** `TensorFlowRecordFileTransformer`
+- **Blob Format:** `TensorFlowRecord`
+- **Dimensionality:** `SINGLE`
+
+### Usage
+The `TensorFlowRecordFileTransformer` enables you to work with single TFRecord files, making it easy to read and write data in TensorFlow's TFRecord format.
+
+```{rli} https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flyteorg/flytesnacks/refs/heads/master/examples/data_types_and_io/data_types_and_io/tensorflow_type.py

+:lines: 35-45
+```
+
+## TFRecord directories
+Flyte supports directories containing multiple TFRecord files through the `TFRecordsDirectory type`. The `TensorFlowRecordsDirTransformer` manages the conversion of TFRecord directories to and from Flyte literals.
+
+### Transformer
+- **Name:** TensorFlow Record Directory
+- **Class:** `TensorFlowRecordsDirTransformer`
+- **Python Type:** `TFRecordsDirectory`
+- **Blob Format:** `TensorFlowRecord`
+- **Dimensionality:** `MULTIPART`
+
+### Usage
+The `TensorFlowRecordsDirTransformer` allows you to work with directories of TFRecord files, which is useful for handling large datasets that are split across multiple files.
+
+#### Example
+```{rli} https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flyteorg/flytesnacks/refs/heads/master/examples/data_types_and_io/data_types_and_io/tensorflow_type.py

+```
+
+## Configuration class: `TFRecordDatasetConfig`
+The `TFRecordDatasetConfig` class is a data structure used to configure the parameters for creating a `tf.data.TFRecordDataset`, which allows for efficient reading of TFRecord files. This class uses the `DataClassJsonMixin` for easy JSON serialization.
+
+### Attributes
+- **compression_type**: (Optional) Specifies the compression method used for the TFRecord files. Possible values include an empty string (no compression), "ZLIB", or "GZIP".
+- **buffer_size**: (Optional) Defines the size of the read buffer in bytes. If not set, defaults will be used based on the local or remote file system.
+- **num_parallel_reads**: (Optional) Determines the number of files to read in parallel. A value greater than one outputs records in an interleaved order.
+- **name**: (Optional) Assigns a name to the operation for easier identification in the pipeline.
+
+This configuration is crucial for optimizing the reading process of TFRecord datasets, especially when dealing with large datasets or when specific performance tuning is required.
