Running pretrained weights and model for Blenderbot 2.0

[rvong65]

I understand that the pretrained weights are found when running parlai interactive -mf zoo:blenderbot2/blenderbot2_400M/model --search-server relevant_search_server but is there any way we can load the pretrained weights into another model and still see the same results? Is it also possible to purely implement Blenderbot2 in Pytorch?

Yes, you can specify --init-model zoo:blenderbot2/blenderbot2_400M/model to initialize a models with the blenderbot2 weights

Is it also possible to purely implement Blenderbot2 in Pytorch?

I'm not really sure I understand this question; the BB2 model are currently implemented using Pytorch modules.
