[BUG] Unable to run ai_unetr_seg_app due to missing traced model

[kavmar]

Hi,

it is not possible to run the ai_unetr_seg_app example, because provided model is not traced. When I get the model from Model Zoo large_files.yml:

"https://developer.download.nvidia.com/assets/Clara/monai/tutorials/model_zoo/model_swin_unetr_btcv_segmentation_v1.pt"

I am hitting an exception:

monai.deploy.exceptions.ItemNotExistsError: A predictor of the model is not set.

Please kindly provide a TorchScript model to test the application.

Thanks

This example app is fairly old now, I recall there was an issue when scripting/tracing the model and maybe the reason why a TorchScript model file is no in the MONAI Model Zoo.

We have two options:

• Try to trace/script the model again
• Create a custom inference operator based off of the base class, and explicitly loads up the Torch model in the application code (the built-in Model Factory is limited to loading the TrochScript models and model folder for the Triton Inference service)

Loading Torch model is straightforward, and I will look to expand the supported Model format in the Model Factory.
