SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires tao-skill-bank, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of launching complex TAO workflows, including training, evaluation, inference, and export, by automating platform selection, credentialing, and preflight checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Platform Selection: Choose from a list of supported platforms like SLURM, Brev, Kubernetes, or local Docker.
  • Credential Management: Handle platform and model-specific credentials securely.
  • Preflight Checks: Run comprehensive preflight checks for image resolution, compute shape, and dependencies.
  • Use Case: When you need to train a TAO model on a SLURM cluster, this Skill automates the process of selecting the platform, providing necessary credentials, and verifying the environment before the job starts.

Quick Start

Run the tao-launch-workflow skill and follow the prompts to select your platform, provide credentials, and specify your model and dataset.

FAQPage Schema
How do I launch a TAO training workflow on a SLURM cluster?

To launch a TAO training workflow on SLURM, you select the SLURM platform during the launch process, provide your cluster credentials, and run preflight checks. The workflow automates platform selection and environment verification before the job starts.

Can I run TAO evaluation and inference tasks on Kubernetes?

Yes, you can run TAO evaluation and inference tasks on Kubernetes. The workflow launch supports multiple execution platforms including Kubernetes, local Docker, Brev, and SLURM, handling platform selection and credential management for your tasks.

What preflight checks are needed before starting a TAO model training job?

Preflight checks for TAO model training verify image resolution, compute shape, and dependencies. Running these checks before launching the workflow ensures the execution environment is correctly configured and prevents job failures.

Do I need specific credentials to automate TAO workflows on Brev?

Yes, you need platform and model-specific credentials to automate TAO workflows on Brev. The launch process handles credential management securely, requiring you to provide the appropriate credentials for your chosen platform before executing tasks.

What is the best way to streamline complex TAO export and training tasks?

The best way to streamline complex TAO export and training tasks is using a unified workflow launch. It automates platform selection, credentialing, and preflight checks, reducing manual setup overhead across different execution platforms.
