View and Create Model Zoos

Read this page to learn about how to navigate and create model zoos in the DeGirum AI Hub. All users have access to the model zoo. The ability to create model zoos is on a per-workspace basis.

When you sign in to the AI Hub, you have immediate access to model zoos. If your workspace has permission, you can also create them.

Models Directory Page

    • If you are viewing all models, the Models Directory Page will also indicate the workspace and zoo where the model lives.

  • Devices: Hardware compatibility of the model. This information is retrieved from the model JSON file.

  • Version: Version number of each model. This information is retrieved from the model JSON file.

  • Action Buttons:

    • Edit: Opens a window to edit the model readme, model JSON file, and labels JSON file. You will need the right permissions to use this action button.

    • Download: Downloads a zip file containing the model, model JSON file, and labels JSON file.

    • Copy: Copies the model to a different model zoo controlled by your workspace. You will need the right permissions to use this action button.

    • Delete: Deletes the model from the model zoo. You will need the right permissions to use this action button.

If you are viewing a specific model zoo, the models page features:

  • Model Zoo Action Buttons: Buttons to copy the model zoo AI Hub path, edit the model zoo, and delete the model zoo. The edit and delete action buttons are identical to the edit and delete action buttons available in the Model Zoos page. You will need the right permissions to use this action button.

  • New Model button: Allows you to upload a new model if your workspace created the model zoo. To upload a model, you must prepare a zip file containing the model, model JSON, and labels JSON all in one archive. The max size of this zip file is 1 GB. The Models Directory page will automatically identify information about the model based on the contents of the JSON file in the uploaded archive.

  • Pagination Controls: Navigates through pages of models.
