Native API Tutorial (Experimental)¶
Warning
This API is currently experimental and subject to change.
The Native API allows developers to seamlessly move between training in a local
development environment and training at cluster-scale on a Determined cluster.
It also provides an interface to train tf.keras and tf.estimator models
using idiomatic framework patterns, reducing (or eliminating) the effort to
port model code for use with Determined.
This tutorial describes how a minimal tf.keras example can be quickly
ported to the Native API to train on a Determined cluster, and augmented to
launch hyperparameter searches and/or distributed training jobs.
Prerequisites¶
You will need access to a Determined cluster to train your model. If you have not yet installed Determined, refer to the installation instructions.
The
determinedPython package installed in your local development environment, including TensorFlow:pip install determined[tensorflow].
