Summary

Add DistilBERT sentiment classification model to the Runpod template with comprehensive documentation.

Changes

  • Bake DistilBERT sentiment model into Docker image
  • Add transformers library dependency (4.40.0+)
  • Implement sentiment analysis pipeline with local_files_only=True
  • Document both model download methods: transformers pipeline and wget
  • Add example inference code for sentiment classification
  • Model loads from cache without network access at runtime
  • Support CUDA GPU acceleration or CPU fallback
  • Include wget alternative for custom/hosted models
  • Clarify use cases and options in code comments

Use Cases Documented

  1. Model Baking: Two options for baking models into the image

    • Option 1: Automatic via transformers pipeline (default)
    • Option 2: Manual via wget (alternative)
  2. Service Startup: Three options for container startup

    • Option 1: Jupyter + SSH (default)
    • Option 2: Services + custom app
    • Option 3: App only (production)

Testing

  • Model loads successfully from cache
  • Inference works correctly on both GPU and CPU
  • Both model baking methods tested and working

- Bake DistilBERT sentiment model into Docker image
- Add transformers library dependency (4.40.0+)
- Implement sentiment analysis pipeline with local_files_only=True
- Document both model download methods: transformers pipeline and wget
- Add example inference code for sentiment classification
- Model loads from cache without network access at runtime
- Support CUDA GPU acceleration or CPU fallback
- Include wget alternative for custom/hosted models
- reorganize model baking options (transformers vs wget) under USE CASE 1
- reorganize startup/entrypoint options (jupyter+ssh, hybrid, app-only) under USE CASE 2
- add explicit 'Use this for', 'Behavior', and 'Pros/Cons' sections
- clarify which options match which use cases
- make it obvious which option is default and why
- improve readability for future maintainers
