@<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55> : That is the link I posted as well. But this should be mentioned also at places where it is about about the external or non-external storage. Also it should be mentioned everywhere we talk about models or artifacts etc. Not necessarily in details, but at least with a sentence and a link.

Exactly 🙂

But, I guess @<1523701070390366208:profile|CostlyOstrich36> wrote that in a different chat, right?

Unbelievable! That worked.

Hi all, sorry for not being so responsive today 🙏

@<1523701083040387072:profile|UnevenDolphin73> : How do you figure? In the past, my colleagues and I just shared the .zip file via email / MS Teams and it worked. So I don't think so.

@<1523701083040387072:profile|UnevenDolphin73> : I see. I did not make the connection that output_uri=True is what I was missing. I thought this was the default. But the default is actually "None", which is different than "True".

Well you could start by setting the output_uri to True in Task.init .

The documentation is messy, I’ve complained about it the in the past too 🙈

We'll try to add referenced to that in other places as well 👍

We have the following, works fine (we also use internal zip packaging for our models):

model = OutputModel(task=self.task, name=self.job_name, tags=kwargs.get('tags', self.task.get_tags()), framework=framework)
model.connect(task=self.task, name=self.job_name)
model.update_weights(weights_filename=cc_model.save())

@<1523701083040387072:profile|UnevenDolphin73> : I do not see any way to download the model manually from the web app either. All I see is the link to the file on my harddrive (see shreenshot).

The second process says there is not file at all. I think, all that happened is that the update_weights only uploaded the location of the .zip file (which we denote as a .model file) on my harddrive, but not the file itself.

Hi @<1523704157695905792:profile|VivaciousBadger56> , you can configure Task.init(..., output_uri=True) and this will save the models to the clearml file server

@<1523704157695905792:profile|VivaciousBadger56> I'm not sure I'm following you - is the issue not being able to upload to the ClearML server or to load the downloaded file?
