Command Line:

# Install GitCode CLI
pip install gitcode

# Download model
gitcode models download username/model-name

# Download specific version
gitcode models download username/model-name --version v1.0.0

# Download to specific directory
gitcode models download username/model-name --output ./models/

Python API:

from gitcode_hub import load_model

# Load model directly
model = load_model("username/model-name")

# Load specific version
model = load_model("username/model-name", version="v1.0.0")

# Load with custom configuration
model = load_model("username/model-name", 
                  config={"device": "cuda", "batch_size": 32})

Model Usage

Basic Inference:

# Load model
model = load_model("username/image-classifier")

# Prepare input
image = load_image("sample.jpg")
preprocessed_image = preprocess_image(image)

# Make prediction
prediction = model.predict(preprocessed_image)
print(f"Predicted class: {prediction['class']}")
print(f"Confidence: {prediction['confidence']:.2f}")

Batch Processing:

# Load model
model = load_model("username/text-generator")

# Prepare batch inputs
texts = ["Hello world", "How are you?", "Nice to meet you"]

# Process batch
results = model.predict_batch(texts)

for text, result in zip(texts, results):
    print(f"Input: {text}")
    print(f"Generated: {result['generated_text']}")
    print("---")

Custom Configuration:

# Load model with custom settings
model = load_model("username/translation-model",
                  config={
                      "max_length": 100,
                      "temperature": 0.7,
                      "top_p": 0.9,
                      "device": "cuda"
                  })

# Use model
translation = model.translate("Hello, how are you?", 
                             target_language="Spanish")
