I want to load a pytorch model (model.pt) from a S3 bucket. I wrote the following code:
from smart_open import open as smart_open
import io
load_path = "s3://serial-no-images/yolo-models/model4/model.pt"
with smart_open(load_path) as f:
buffer = io.BytesIO(f.read())
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(buffer))
This results in the following error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 64: invalid start byte
One solution would be to download the model locally, but I want to avoid this and load the model directly from S3. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good solution for that online. Can someone help me out here?
