Demo on Huggingface Spaces

[yvrjsharma]

Congratulations on the VILA release!! The Demo web server seems to be down currently. It would be great to have the demo up on Huggingface Spaces as well. We'd be glad to sponsor a community grant of A100s (ZeroGPU) to host the demo on Spaces for free for larger community accessibility. Let us know if the team is interested.

Best, Yuvraj (Gradio at Huggingface)

Hi Yuvraj,

Could you check again for vila.mit.edu? We have migrated the demo to mit domain better accessiblity.

I have received invivation for AK last month and has developed a new one (WIP) https://huggingface.co/spaces/Ligeng-Zhu/zero-dev. However, we met some dependency diffuclties (e.g., current space only can only install requirements.txt), while VILA requires a more complext environement setting https://github.com/NVlabs/VILA/blob/main/environment_setup.sh

Do you have time for a chat this week to discuss the issue?

Hi @Lyken17, apologies for the delayed reply. We have a shared Slack collaboration channel for NVlabs/Vila on our huggingface Slack. Jason Lu has already joined there. I think it'd be great to have you there as well to help you with your queries more timely and to support you in successfully launching your demo and other HF integrations. Can you please help me with your email address, so that I can send you an invitation for this?

+1 to the above! Also confirmed the demo is up and working at https://vila.mit.edu/

I'd love to get an invite to that slack as well. We've got an instance of VILA deployed to SageMaker already, but I'd like to create a branch that allows for running on Apple Silicon via metal.

@yvrjsharma sure, my email is ligeng.zhu@gmail.com would love to discuss more in the slack!

[yvrjsharma]

Sure, I have sent you an invite @Lyken17. I'd need your full email address for this to work out @averypfeiffer.

[averypfeiffer]

No problem!

You can go ahead and use my work email: avery.pfeiffer@onprem.com
Thanks!

Thanks, done. We can continue rest of our conversation over there.
