Downloading Models

Downloading models

Integrated libraries

If a model on the Hub is tied to a supported library, loading the model can be done in just a few lines. For information on accessing the model, you can click on the “Use in Library” button on the model page to see how to do so. For example, shows how to do so with 🌍 Transformers below.distilgpt2

Using the BOINC AI Client Library

You can use the boincai_hub library to create, delete, update and retrieve information from repos. You can also download files from repos or integrate them into your library! For example, you can quickly load a Scikit-learn model with a few lines.

Copied

from boincai_hub import ba_hub_download
import joblib

REPO_ID = "YOUR_REPO_ID"
FILENAME = "sklearn_model.joblib"

model = joblib.load(
    ba_hub_download(repo_id=REPO_ID, filename=FILENAME)
)

Using Git

Since all models on the Model Hub are Git repositories, you can clone the models locally by running:

Copied

git lfs install
git clone [e-mail]:<MODEL ID> # example: git clone git@boincai:bigscience/bloom

If you have write-access to the particular model repo, you’ll also have the ability to commit and push revisions to the model.

Add your SSH public key to your user settings to push changes and/or access private repos.
