are you saying that for some reason the models pick the artifacts ? Is that reproducible ? (they are two different things)
Can you see the df.pkl on the Models section of the Task (in the UI) ?

yes

it's also under Other

Yes MuddySquid7 it is automatically detects it (regardless of you uploading DF as an artifact).
How are you saving the dataframe ?
(it will auto log any joblib.save call, is that it?)

exactly

Yep, that would do it ...
You can disable it with:
Task.init(..., auto_connect_frameworks={'scikit': False})

BTW: this is probably more efficient than pickling
