Running dashVectorspace on Google Colab

Since the ingestion process can be compute-intensive, running on Google Colab (especially with a GPU) is a great option.

Steps

3. Setup Environment: Open the notebook notebooks/dashVector_full_benchmark.ipynb. Since it clones the code directly from Hugging Face, you do not need to upload any zip files.

   Simply Run All Cells. The notebook will:

   • Clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/dashVector/dashVectorSpace
   • Install dependencies
   • Run the 25k Benchmark
   • Prompt to download artifacts

4. Download Artifacts: The notebook will save models to the models/ directory. Zip and download this folder to your local machine:

   !zip -r models.zip models
   from google.colab import files
   files.download('models.zip')
   

   Then, place these files into dashVectorspace/models/ and re-deploy.
