Issue with downloading Pre-trained TLT models

Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics TAO Toolkit
1

Hi,

I have been trying out the Nvidia TLT but I am having issues downloading the pre trained models. I understand that we have to use the following command with our API key to download the models

tlt-pull --list_models -k $API_KEY -o $ORG -t $TEAM

and use nvtltea/iva for the -o and -t argument. However, I am still unable to get access to the list of models available.

I understand from other forum posts here that users have to choose nvtltea/iva while logging-in but I do not get the option to do that. Is there any why I can sign-up/apply to get access to nvtltea/iva on my account?

Some guidance in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thank-you!

Hi daanyal,
Your attached command is a command to get a list of pre-trained models. Could you try again if you can get any output?
$ tlt-pull -k $API_KEY -lm -o nvtltea -t iva

For $API_KEY, please check the page 3~4 in https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1050234/transfer-learning-toolkit/announcements/

I ran the command you mentioned above but it still would not run. This was the response I got after running the command:

Invalid org. Choose from ['dqxg9akguuul']

As for the $API_KEY, I have already generated it as per the instructions given. Also, while initially creating the account, it did not prompt me to choose the Organization/Team as mentioned in the getting started guide.

Hi daanyal,
Seems that you have not a valid account. Could you follow the 3rd page of the pdf document to create an account.

Hi Morgan,

I tried making a new account using a different email but it still does not prompt me for Organization/Team selection.

6

When you open ngc.nvidia.com with browser, are you able to see any Organization/Team selection for you to sign in?

7

No I do not see it.

I will ask internal team to check your account.

Yes kindly please do.

And thank you very much for the help!

Hi Daanyal,
The nvtltea/iva is only for EA of TLT. We have closed EA program and we will have GA soon.
So, please wait for the GA version of TLT. Thanks.
