Publish to MinT Hub

This recipe demonstrates publishing trained checkpoints to MinT Hub, making them accessible to your team with version control, metadata, and easy loading.

Use Case

  • Team collaboration: Share trained models across your team without manual file transfer.
  • Model versioning: Maintain multiple versions with timestamps and descriptions.
  • Checkpoint archival: Store training checkpoints for reproducibility and rollback.
  • Production deployment: Publish models to a central registry for production use.

Verified Run

Publishing a trained checkpoint to MinT Hub:

  • Publish time: ~5 seconds (checkpoint already on server).
  • Visibility: Model appears in Hub dashboard and search immediately.
  • Access control: Models can be private (team only) or public (anyone).
  • Versioning: Multiple versions tracked automatically with timestamps.
  • Team access: All team members can load via create_sampling_client_from_hub().
  • Metadata: Full training config, description, tags stored for discovery.
