This comprehensive template is designed to facilitate the development of machine learning projects using a variety of tools and frameworks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced ML practitioner, this template provides a structured and efficient approach to building and deploying ML models.
- Use this template to create your own repository
- then git clone your repository, follow this guide create a repository from a template
- you can watch this video for a quick guide on how to do it youtube guide
-
Setting Up Your Environment
- Install Docker: Follow the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ to set up Docker on your machine.
- OpenAI API Keys (Optional): If you plan to integrate OpenAI's APIs (via open-interpreter or scikit-llm), set up your API keys as described in the installation guide.

Understanding the Philosophy
- Template Philosophy: Gain insights into the design and purpose of this template by reading PHILOSOPHY.md.
-
Running Examples
- Access Pre-Built Examples: Explore practical examples in the examples folder to jump-start your project.
- Set Up the Docker Image:
- Run
bash start.sh
. - When asked if you want to run open-interpreter, say no. answer everything else normally.
- Open the Jupyter Notebook link (e.g.,
localhost...
) and navigate to the examples folder.
- Run
-
Building Your Own Models
- Using TensorFlow or PyTorch: Tutorials for creating custom models using popular frameworks are available at ./notebooks/README.md.
-
Leveraging Open-Interpreter for Model Creation
- We do this within a docker container for the safety of your local machine, but also to allow for a 'clean' environment to install and experiment with new dependencies.
- Automate Model Creation with GPT-4:
- Initialize the Docker image with
bash start.sh
and when asked sayy
that you want to run open interpreter. - Input commands to the interpreter, e.g., "create a dummy dataset of 10 statements often associated with republicans, democrats, libertarians and socialists then write me a deep neural network in pytorch using torchtext to classify those statements, write the training loop and also test the model on a new statement."
- Exit the interpreter by pressing
CTRL-C
. - Chat history is stored in the ./chats folder
- Initialize the Docker image with

This repository is primarily designed for fitting models and exporting them, rather than for running them in a production environment. Please note the following important points:
- Non-Versioned Dependencies: The dependencies used in this repository are not versioned. Many dependencies rely on nightly or "latest" builds.
- Stability Not Guaranteed: Stability and long-term support are not the primary goals of this repository. It's optimized for experimentation and model fitting rather than production stability.
When deploying models to a production environment, consider these best practices to ensure efficiency, stability, and security:
-
Create a Slim Dockerfile: Design a Dockerfile specifically for production. Ensure it only includes the necessary components, keeping it as lightweight as possible.
-
Freeze Dependency Versions: Always specify the exact versions of your dependencies. This practice reduces the risk of unexpected behavior caused by updates in dependencies.
-
Avoid Unnecessary Dependencies: Only install the dependencies that are absolutely necessary for your application to run. This minimizes the potential attack surface for security vulnerabilities and reduces the overall size of your deployment.
-
Regularly Update and Maintain: Keep your dependencies and your application updated with the latest security patches. Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and security of your production environment.
-
Performance Optimization: Tailor your environment for optimal performance. This includes selecting the right hardware specifications and tuning your model and application settings for the best performance.
-
Security Best Practices: Follow standard security best practices, including using secure communication protocols, implementing proper authentication and authorization mechanisms, and regular security audits.
-
Monitoring and Logging: Implement comprehensive monitoring and logging to quickly identify and respond to issues in the production environment.
-
Scalability Considerations: Design your deployment with scalability in mind. This ensures that your application can handle increased load without degradation in performance.
By adhering to these best practices, you can create a more robust, secure, and efficient production environment for your machine learning models.
- Go to the terminal where you ran the
start.sh
script and pressCTRL+C
, Why does it work that way?
