The tensorflow and keras version is 2.11.0 in both cases. Not noticing any mismatch.

I tried
running it without calling Task.init without the agent - This works Without calling Task.init with the agent - doesn't work Calling Taskl.init with the agent - doesn't work

What about Calling Taskl.init Without the agent?

AgitatedDove14 It is the same version. In fact, I am using the same image from tensorflow on docker hub to run the code a) directly, and b) with clearml. It runs directly but leads to the above error with clearml.

Interestingly, the example provided on clearml github works in the target agent (a docker container). It imports keras through tensorflow. Importing keras directly works on local, and in the target container. However, that fails as a clearml-task.

My guess is that clearml is reimporting keras somewhere, leading to circular dependencies.

Also the line -
File "train_tf/keras_mnist.py", line 8, in <module> import keras `` import keras is not at line 8 in the entry script train_tf/keras_mnist.py . I wonder why this is wrong in the logs.

What version of clearml / clearml-agent are you using? Are you running in docker mode? Can you add your agent command here?

Is clearml importing keras or any of its modules separately? I am not able to reproduce this error outside clearml.

but doesn't run when I deploy it using clearml. Here's the log of the error:

...

My guess is that clearml is reimporting keras somewhere, leading to circular dependencies.

It might not be circular, but I would guess it does have something to do with order of imports. I'm trying to figure out what would be the difference between local run and using an agent
Is it the exact same TF version?

It runs directly but leads to the above error with clearml

Both manually (i.e. calling Task.init and running it without agent, and with agent ? same exact behavior ?

What is this part in the command USany

It's just a queue name

Can you compare the installed packages between the original experiment to the cloned one? Do you see anything special or different between the two?

I am not using --force-current-version so I suppose it would be pulling the latest clearml-agent version inside the container. From the logs I can see it is installing clearml-agent version 1.4.1 in the container too.

Just tried. That works too.

The clearml-agent version is 1.4.1 and the cleaml version is 1.8.0.

I am using the following command to run the agent:
clearml-agent daemon --detached --queue US3090 USany default --docker

Just adding this here for easier readability
