densenet_pytorch

PyTorch serving

This example shows how to serve PyTorch trained models for flower species recognition.. The custom handler is implemented in densenet_service.py. For simplicity, we'll use a pre-trained model. For simplicity we will use docker container to run Model Server.

Getting Started With Docker

Build the docker image with pytorch as backend engine:

  cd examples/densenet_pytorch/
  docker build . -t mms_with_pytorch

Run the container that you have built in previous step.

  docker run -it --entrypoint bash mms_with_pytorch

Start the server from inside the container:

  multi-model-server --models densenet161_pytorch=https://s3.amazonaws.com/model-server/model_archive_1.0/examples/PyTorch+models/densenet/densenet161_pytorch.mar

Now we can download a sample flower's image

  curl -O https://s3.amazonaws.com/model-server/inputs/flower.jpg

Get the status of the model with the following:

  curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/predictions/densenet161_pytorch -T flower.jpg
