    for anyone following along with the ml training in august 2024, https://github.com/onnx/onnx/issues/6267 will break your windows-based onnx install when you're in the TOP/PDG section of the demo. You'll need to ensure onnx 1.16.1 is installed. You can do this by popping into the venv and running "pip install onnx==1.16.1" or by editing the venv setup in the TOP network.
