# Deploying Neuro-Flyt 3D to Hugging Face Spaces This guide explains how to use your organization's GPUs on Hugging Face to train the Neuro-Flyt 3D model. ## Prerequisites 1. A Hugging Face Account. 2. An Organization with GPU billing enabled (or a personal account with GPU access). 3. A Write Access Token (Settings -> Access Tokens). ## Steps ### 1. Create a New Space 1. Go to [huggingface.co/new-space](https://huggingface.co/new-space). 2. **Owner:** Select your Organization. 3. **Space Name:** `neuro-flyt-training` (or similar). 4. **SDK:** Select **Docker**. 5. **Space Hardware:** Select a GPU instance (e.g., **T4 small** or **A10G**). ### 2. Configure Secrets In the Space settings, go to **Settings -> Variables and secrets**. Add the following **Secret**: - `HF_TOKEN`: Your Write Access Token (starts with `hf_...`). ### 3. Deploy Code You can deploy by pushing the code to the Space's Git repository. ```bash # 1. Install git-lfs if needed git lfs install # 2. Clone your Space (replace with your actual repo URL) git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_ORG/neuro-flyt-training cd neuro-flyt-training # 3. Copy project files cp -r /path/to/Drone-go-brrrrr/* . # 4. Push to Space git add . git commit -m "Deploy training job" git push ``` ### 4. Monitor Training - Go to the **App** tab in your Space. - You will see the training logs in real-time. - The training will run for 500,000 steps. ### 5. Access Trained Model - Once finished, the script will automatically push the trained model (`liquid_ppo_drone_final.zip`) to your Model Repository (defined in `train_hf.py` or via arguments). - You can then download this model and use it locally with `demo_3d.py`. ## Customization - **Repo ID:** Edit `Dockerfile` or `train_hf.py` to change the target Model Repository ID (`--repo_id`). - **Steps:** Change `--steps` in `Dockerfile` to adjust training duration. ## Hardware & Training Recommendations ### Which GPU? * **A100 Large (80GB):** **The Ultimate Choice.** If you want to train for 5M+ episodes in the shortest time possible, pick this. We have optimized the code to use **16 Parallel Environments** and **Large Batch Sizes (4096)** to fully saturate the A100. * **A10G Large (24GB):** **Excellent Value.** Very fast and capable. It will handle the parallel training easily and is much cheaper than the A100. * **T4 (16GB):** **Budget Option.** It will work, but you won't see the massive speedup from the parallelization as clearly as with the Ampere cards (A10/A100). ### Efficiency Optimization (Implemented) To ensure the GPU doesn't sit idle, we have updated `train_hf.py` to: 1. **Parallel Physics:** Run **16 Drones** simultaneously on the CPU. 2. **Large Batches:** Process **4096 samples** at once on the GPU. 3. **Result:** Training is ~10-15x faster than the standard script. ### How Many Episodes? The environment `max_steps` is 1000. * **Minimum (Proof of Concept):** **500,000 Steps** (500 Episodes). The drone will learn to hover and roughly follow the target. * **Recommended (Robust):** **1,000,000 - 2,000,000 Steps** (1000 - 2000 Episodes). This allows the Liquid Network to fully adapt to the random wind turbulence and master the physics. * **High Performance:** **5,000,000+ Steps**. For "perfect" flight control. ### Efficiency Tip Reinforcement Learning is often CPU-bound (physics simulation). To train efficiently: 1. Use a Space with **many CPU vCores** (8+) to run environments in parallel. 2. Use the **A10G** GPU to handle the heavy math of the Liquid Time-Constant (LTC) cells.
