TorchScript example using VGG16 image classifier:

• Save the VGG16 model in as an executable script module or a traced script:

1. Save model using scripting

   #scripted mode
   from torchvision import models
   import torch
   model = models.vgg16(pretrained=True)
   sm = torch.jit.script(model)
   sm.save("vgg16.pt")

2. Save model using tracing

   #traced mode
   from torchvision import models
   import torch
   model = models.vgg16(pretrained=True)
   model.eval()
   example_input = torch.rand(1, 3, 224, 224)
   traced_script_module = torch.jit.trace(model, example_input)
   traced_script_module.save("vgg16.pt")

• Use following commands to register vgg16 torchscript model on TorchServe and run image prediction

  torch-model-archiver --model-name vgg16 --version 1.0  --serialized-file vgg16.pt --extra-files ./examples/image_classifier/index_to_name.json --handler ./examples/image_classifier/vgg_16/vgg_handler.py
  mkdir model_store
  mv vgg16.mar model_store/
  torchserve --start --model-store model_store --models vgg16=vgg16.mar
  curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/predictions/vgg16 -T ./serve/examples/image_classifier/kitten.jpg
