Important Notice for Model Zoo 2.7 Users

A recent update to the peft package can cause compatibility problems when creating a new environment for Model Zoo 2.7. Fresh installs may pull peft==0.18.0, which is not compatible with this Modelzoo release. To avoid environment failures, you should pin the correct version of peft in every place where dependencies are declared.First, update your setup.py so the install_requires list includes the correct pin:
install_requires=[
...,
"peft==0.17.1",
]
Next, ensure that your installation process also uses the same version. Choose one of the following approaches:
  1. Pre-install the correct version: 
    pip install peft==0.17.1
pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Add the version pin directly to your requirements: Add this line to requirements.txt before installation: 
    peft==0.17.1

​

source modelzoo_venv/bin/activate

​
