Incubator-mxnet: what's the difference between model and module

[rongrongxiangxin]

I am confused. And how to thransfer the mx.model to mx.mod.Module or mx.mod.Module to mx.model?

[piiswrong]

module is a newer interface. we recommend module for new projects.

[dengdan]

Why is the module interface added, for the convenience of multiple devices?

Why module is better, could you please explain this? Thank you

Using the model API, we could load the trained model and predict, without re-creating the network.
But in the module API, I think it expects you to create the network and bind it before you can predict.
Is my understanding correct?
Can I safely use the checkpoint saved by the Module API and load it using the FeedForward/model API and predict? will there be any side effects?
Also, will you be adding this support (predicting without requiring explicit bind) in the module API as well?
