Instill Model currently is in a transition state of adopting containerized model serving feature, which brings the benefit of isolated dependencies environment for each model. Stay tuned for more updates!
No matter where your model stores, we want to keep your models in the same place without changes and make the process of importing the models into Instill Model very easy. That's why Instill Model has integrated many model platforms and tools as model sources. We strive to support as many popular model sources as possible.
A model source in Instill Model is defined by ModelDefinition.
The JSON Schema of a ModelDefinition defines how to configure and import a model source.
Different approaches can provide different features. For example, some approaches support version control but some do not.
It is up to the users to adopt approach they are already familiar with.
We have currently deprecated Hugging Face and ArtiVC as model input source, but keeping Github and Local at the moment, we will fully move to Container format in a near future.
