Jesse WilliamsThe potential of AI projects is immense, but data science and machine learning teams often face significant challenges before they can achieve results. Tasks such as adjusting parameters for optimal performance, selecting the suitable model, and sourcing training datasets can be time-consuming and require multiple iterations. This lengthy process can delay project timelines and distract ML Engineers from more critical responsibilities.
Data preparation is often a labor-intensive undertaking that requires careful attention to detail. Evaluating model performance demands a high level of expertise, as does selecting the most suitable model for a specific problem. Fine-tuning hyperparameters to boost performance can also become cumbersome, necessitating multiple adjustments.
Additionally, data scientists and machine learning teams can struggle to implement their solutions effectively without thorough documentation.
This guide explores how Jozu Quickstart ModelKits can help developers navigate these challenges. It will also include a step-by-step tutorial to help you launch your next AI project.
What are Jozu Quickstart ModelKits ?
Jozu Quickstart ModelKits are ready-to-use AI project kits designed to assist AI/ML engineers in beginning their AI project initiatives. The kits include everything an AI/ML engineer needs to kickstart an AI project, from a curated set of models and optimized parameters to documentation and ready-to-use datasets.
Here’s how Jozu’s Quickstart ModelKits simplify AI projects:
Efficient artifact management: Artifacts are the building blocks of a ModelKit. They can be datasets, models, or codes, each stored and addressed individually. Unlike traditional container images, ModelKits allow for direct addressing of included artifacts. This means tools can selectively unpack only the required datasets or code at any given stage, optimizing resource usage and speeding up development.
Inter-team collaboration and seamless sharing: A ModelKit's standardized format fosters a collaborative environment, enabling teams to share and manage AI/ML artifacts effortlessly across different stages of development.
Streamlined efficiency for shared artifacts: ModelKits are designed to handle shared artifacts across multiple versions efficiently. When the same dataset, for instance, is used by several ModelKits, this approach significantly reduces duplication and storage overhead.
Optimized for AI/ML workflows: ModelKits are tailor-made for AI/ML projects, addressing specific needs such as versioning and environment configuration.
Comprehensive documentation: With Jozu Quickstart ModelKits, detailed step-by-step documentation ensures ML/AI engineers can seamlessly integrate Mo into their projects. The documentation guide covers every step of the process, from setup to deployment.
How to use Jozu Quickstart ModelKits
Here is a step-by-step tutorial on using Jozu Quickstart ModelKits to get your AI project off the ground.
Step 1: Install and set up KitOps for your operating system (OS)
Installing KitOps varies depending on the operating system (OS). However, the central idea is to download the KitOps executable and add it to the path where your OS can detect it.
After installation, you can verify the Kit CLI is correctly installed by opening a new terminal or command prompt and typing the command kit version.
kit version
-----------
Version: 0.4.0
Commit: 4d208b6cccdefdce2e79d3bea2e54d08d65dee8f
Built: 2024-08-26T15:08:11Z
Go version: go1.21.6
Step 2: Login to Jozu's ModelKit registry
Navigate to Jozu Hub and create a free account.
After signing up, log in to your registry from the command prompt and type the command kit login jozu.ml with your username and password.
You’ll get a login successful response below:
kit login jozu.ml
-----------
Username: your-email@companyname.com
Password:
Log in successful
Step 3: Get a sample ModelKit
With the unpack command kit unpack, pull a sample ModelKit from Jozu Hub to your machine. You can grab any of the ModelKits from the Jozu Hub. For demonstration, let’s use a fine-tuned model based on Llama3.
kit unpack jozu.ml/jozu/fine-tuning:latest
-----------
Unpacking to C:Users\Habari
Unpacking referenced modelkit jozu.ml/jozu/llama3-8b:8B-instruct-q4_0
Unpacking model llama3-8b-8B-instruct-q4_0 to llama3-8b-8B-instruct-q4_0.gguf
Unpacking config to C:Users\Habari\Kitfile
Unpacking code to README.md
Unpacking dataset fine-tune-data to training-data.txt
Step 4: Check the local repository.
Use the list command kit list to check what's in your local repository. At this point, your repository is empty, as you can see in the code block below:
kit list
-----------
REPOSITORY TAG MAINTAINER NAME SIZE DIGEST
Step 5: Pack the ModelKit
Since your repository is empty, use the pack command kit pack to create your ModelKit. Ensure that the ModelKit in your local registry matches the naming structure of your remote registry.
The command will be formatted as follows:
kit pack . -t [your registry address]/[your registry user or organization name]/[your repository name]:[your tag name]
In this example, the command above is used to push a ModelKit tagged **latest**(representing your tag name) to:
- The Jozu Hub --→ your registry address
- The
chukoz71-→ your registry user or organization name - The
quick-start-→ your repository name
As a result, the command will look like:
kit pack . -t jozu.ml/chukoz71/quick- start:latest
kit pack . -t jozu.ml/chukoz71/quick-start:latest
kit list
-----------
REPOSITORY: jozu.ml/chukoz71/quick-start
TAG: latest
MAINTAINER: Jozu AI
NAME: llama3 fine-tuned
SIZE: 95.5 MiB
DIGEST: sha256:7b6bee7cadfa595abbfb039f91c5f146d9e7da956dfcf29735d499bdaa2945c1
Step 6: Push the ModelKit to Jozu Hub
Use the push command to copy the newly built ModelKit from your local repository to the remote repository you logged into earlier. Once completed, a message response will display “[INFO] pushed” with the newly built ModelKit Digest, notifying that it has been successfully pushed.
kit push jozu.ml/chukoz71/quick-start:latest
-----------
<-[0;32m[INFO] Pushed sha256:7b6bee7cadfa595abbfb039f91c5f146d9e7da956dfcf29735d499bdaa2945c1
Also, log in to your repository in Jozu Hub to confirm that the ModelKit Digest has been successfully pushed, as shown below. The image displays the date it was pushed, the ModelKit digest, the tag name, the size, and other evidence of a successful push.
Following these steps, you’ve learned how to use Jozu Quickstart ModelKits to get your AI project off the ground in minutes. You’ve explored how to unpack a ModelKit, package it, and push it to the remote repository.
