MLflow is an open-source platform designed to manage the machine learning lifecycle, including experimentation, reproducibility, and deployment. It provides a suite of tools to help data scientists and engineers track experiments, package code into reproducible runs, and share and deploy models. MLflow is widely used for its flexibility and integration capabilities with various machine learning libraries and frameworks.
When working with MLflow, you might encounter the error: mlflow.exceptions.MlflowException: Invalid model version. This error typically arises when attempting to interact with a model version that MLflow cannot recognize or locate. It can be frustrating, especially when you are in the middle of deploying or managing your models.
The error mlflow.exceptions.MlflowException: Invalid model version indicates that the model version specified in your command or script is either incorrect or does not exist in the MLflow registry. This could happen due to a typo in the version number, a model version that has been deleted, or an incorrect reference to a model name.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps to ensure that you are referencing the correct model version:
First, ensure that the model name and version you are using exist in the MLflow registry. You can list all registered models and their versions using the following command:
mlflow models list
Check the output to confirm that the model name and version are correct.
Navigate to the MLflow UI to visually inspect the registered models and their versions. This can help you quickly identify any discrepancies. Access the UI by running:
mlflow ui
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:5000 to view the MLflow UI.
Once you have verified the correct model version, update your code or script to reference the correct version. Ensure that there are no typos or incorrect references.
After making the necessary corrections, re-run your command or script to see if the issue is resolved. If the error persists, double-check the model registry for any recent changes or deletions.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the mlflow.exceptions.MlflowException: Invalid model version error. Ensuring that you have the correct model version and name is crucial for seamless model management in MLflow.
