+# Quick Guide: Setting Up Model Weights on Hugging Face
+
+**TL;DR:** Host your FoundationPose weights in a HF model repository instead of your Space. It's easier, faster, and better.
+
+## Why This Way is Better
+
+| Method | Pros | Cons |
+|--------|------|------|
+| **HF Model Repo** ✅ | Fast CDN downloads, version control, share across Spaces, no git-lfs needed | Initial setup required |
+| Git-LFS in Space | All-in-one repo | Slow, complex, Space bloat, hard to share |
+| Manual upload to Space files | Simple | Not version controlled, no programmatic access |
+
+## 5-Minute Setup
+
+### 1. Download Weights (One-Time)
+
+```bash
+# Download from Google Drive:
+# https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GCyGE-LbFGgRC-FuGsF3a1zeBuzsQ1Da
+
+# You need:
+# - 2023-10-28-18-33-37/ (~900MB)
+# - 2024-01-11-20-02-45/ (~900MB)
+```
+
+### 2. Create Model Repo
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli login
+huggingface-cli repo create foundationpose-weights --type model
+```
+
+Or create at: https://huggingface.co/new (select "Model")
+
+### 3. Upload Weights
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your/downloaded/weights
+
+huggingface-cli upload YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights \
+  ./2023-10-28-18-33-37 \
+  2023-10-28-18-33-37
+
+huggingface-cli upload YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights \
+  ./2024-01-11-20-02-45 \
+  2024-01-11-20-02-45
+```
+
+### 4. Configure Your Space
+
+Add to your Space's environment variables (Settings → Variables and secrets):
+
+```
+FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO=YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights
+USE_HF_WEIGHTS=true
+USE_REAL_MODEL=true
+```
+
+### 5. Deploy
+
+```bash
+cd foundationpose
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Your Space will automatically download weights on first run!
+
+## Verify It Works
+
+Check your Space logs at:
+`https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose/logs`
+
+Look for:
+```
+Downloading from Hugging Face Model Repository
+Repository: YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights
+✓ Download complete!
+```
+
+## Example Model Repo Structure
+
+Your model repo should look like:
+
+```
+YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights/
+├── README.md
+├── 2023-10-28-18-33-37/
+│   ├── model_0000000.pth
+│   ├── config.json
+│   └── ...
+└── 2024-01-11-20-02-45/
+    ├── model_0000000.pth
+    ├── config.json
+    └── ...
+```
+
+## Use in Other Projects
+
+Anyone can now use your weights:
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+
+# Download weights
+snapshot_download(
+    repo_id="YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights",
+    local_dir="./weights"
+)
+```
+
+## Make It Public or Private?
+
+**Public (Recommended):**
+- ✅ Anyone can use (including your Space)
+- ✅ No token needed
+- ✅ Community can benefit
+
+**Private:**
+- ✅ Control access
+- ❌ Need HF token in Space secrets
+- ❌ More complex setup
+
+For private repos, add `HF_TOKEN` to Space secrets.
+
+## Common Issues
+
+**"Repository not found"**
+→ Check name matches: `YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights`
+
+**"Access denied"**
+→ Make repo public or add HF_TOKEN secret
+
+**"Download slow"**
+→ First download is cached, subsequent runs are instant
+
+**"Out of space"**
+→ Free tier: ~50GB. Upgrade or use smaller models.
+
+## Complete Example
+
+```bash
+# Assuming weights downloaded to ~/Downloads/foundationpose-weights/
+
+# 1. Login
+huggingface-cli login
+
+# 2. Create repo
+huggingface-cli repo create foundationpose-weights --type model
+
+# 3. Upload
+cd ~/Downloads/foundationpose-weights
+huggingface-cli upload gpue/foundationpose-weights . .
+
+# 4. Done! Configure your Space:
+# FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO=gpue/foundationpose-weights
+# USE_HF_WEIGHTS=true
+# USE_REAL_MODEL=true
+```

+# Private Model Repository Setup
+
+Your model repository `gpue/foundationpose-weights` is currently **PRIVATE** 🔒
+
+This document explains your options for using it with your Space.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Answer
+
+**Yes, your Space needs a token** if the model repo stays private.
+
+**No token needed** if you make the repo public.
+
+---
+
+## Option 1: Make Repository Public (Easiest) ✅
+
+### Why Choose This?
+- ✅ No token management
+- ✅ Simpler Space setup
+- ✅ Anyone can use your weights
+- ✅ No secrets to manage
+- ✅ Faster downloads (no auth overhead)
+
+### How to Make Public
+
+**Via CLI:**
+```bash
+/Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/training/.venv/bin/huggingface-cli repo update \
+  gpue/foundationpose-weights \
+  --visibility public \
+  --repo-type model
+```
+
+**Via Web:**
+1. Go to https://huggingface.co/gpue/foundationpose-weights/settings
+2. Under "Change repository visibility"
+3. Select "Public"
+4. Click "Update repository"
+
+**Then:**
+- Just deploy your Space - no additional setup needed!
+- Weights will download automatically
+
+---
+
+## Option 2: Keep Private + Add Token 🔒
+
+### Why Choose This?
+- 🔒 Control access to weights
+- 🔒 Keep it between your Spaces
+- 🔒 Track who downloads
+
+### Setup Steps
+
+#### 1. Create HF Token
+
+Go to https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens and create a new token:
+
+- **Name:** `foundationpose-space` (or any name you want)
+- **Type:** `Read` (not Write)
+- **Permissions:**
+  - ✅ Read access to repos
+
+Copy the token (starts with `hf_...`)
+
+#### 2. Add Token to Space
+
+Go to your Space settings:
+https://huggingface.co/spaces/gpue/foundationpose/settings
+
+Scroll to **"Repository secrets"** and add:
+
+| Name | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| `HF_TOKEN` | `hf_xxxxxxxxxxxxx` (your token) |
+
+#### 3. Verify
+
+The code already supports token authentication:
+- `download_weights.py` will automatically use `HF_TOKEN` if available
+- No code changes needed!
+
+#### 4. Test
+
+Deploy your Space and check the logs:
+```
+🔒 Using HF_TOKEN for authentication (private repository)
+Downloading model weights...
+✓ Download complete!
+```
+
+---
+
+## Current Status
+
+✅ **Model repo uploaded:** 258MB (2 weight files + configs + README)
+✅ **Token support added:** Code updated to use `HF_TOKEN` env var
+✅ **Dockerfile configured:** Points to your model repo by default
+❌ **Repository visibility:** Currently PRIVATE
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation
+
+For a public inference Space like this, I recommend **making the model repo public**:
+
+**Pros:**
+- Simpler setup
+- No token management
+- Aligns with open-source spirit
+- Easier for others to use
+
+**Cons:**
+- Anyone can download the weights (but they're from official FoundationPose anyway)
+
+The FoundationPose weights are already public on Google Drive, so there's no confidentiality concern.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Verify Current Access
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/foundationpose
+
+# Test without token (will fail if private)
+unset HF_TOKEN
+/Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/training/.venv/bin/python verify_weights.py
+
+# Test with token (will work if token valid)
+export HF_TOKEN="hf_your_token_here"
+/Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/training/.venv/bin/python verify_weights.py
+```
+
+### After Making Public
+
+```bash
+# Should work without token
+/Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/training/.venv/bin/python verify_weights.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## What I've Done
+
+1. ✅ Uploaded weights to `gpue/foundationpose-weights` (258MB)
+2. ✅ Added README.md to model repo with citation and usage
+3. ✅ Updated `download_weights.py` to support `HF_TOKEN`
+4. ✅ Updated Dockerfile to point to your model repo
+5. ✅ Created `verify_weights.py` to test access
+6. ✅ Improved error messages for auth failures
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps (Choose One)
+
+### If Making Public:
+```bash
+# 1. Make repo public
+huggingface-cli repo update gpue/foundationpose-weights --visibility public --repo-type model
+
+# 2. Deploy Space
+cd /Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/foundationpose
+git add .
+git commit -m "Configure for model repo download"
+git push origin main
+
+# 3. Done! No token needed.
+```
+
+### If Keeping Private:
+```bash
+# 1. Get token from: https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
+
+# 2. Add HF_TOKEN to Space secrets:
+#    https://huggingface.co/spaces/gpue/foundationpose/settings
+
+# 3. Deploy Space
+cd /Users/georgpuschel/repos/robot-ml/foundationpose
+git add .
+git commit -m "Configure for model repo download"
+git push origin main
+
+# 4. Space will authenticate with token automatically
+```
+
+---
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: What if I forget to add the token?**
+A: Space will run in placeholder mode (empty results but API works).
+
+**Q: Can I change visibility later?**
+A: Yes! You can switch between public/private anytime.
+
+**Q: Does the token expire?**
+A: Tokens can expire if you set an expiration date. Use "No expiration" for Spaces.
+
+**Q: What if someone steals my token?**
+A: They can only READ your model repos. Revoke and create a new token if compromised.
+
+**Q: Can I use the same token for multiple Spaces?**
+A: Yes! Same token works across all your Spaces.
+
+---
+
+**Recommendation:** Make the repo public for simplicity. The weights are already public via Google Drive anyway.

+### Placeholder Mode (Default)
+
+This Space runs in **placeholder mode** by default - the API works but returns empty pose results. Perfect for testing integrations!
+
+### Enable Real Inference
+
+To enable actual 6D pose estimation:
+
+1. **Create a Hugging Face model repository** to host the weights (recommended)
+   - 📖 Quick guide: [HF_MODEL_SETUP.md](HF_MODEL_SETUP.md)
+   - 📖 Detailed guide: [UPLOAD_WEIGHTS.md](UPLOAD_WEIGHTS.md)

+2. **Set environment variables** in this Space's settings:
+   ```
+   FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO=YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights
+   USE_HF_WEIGHTS=true
+   USE_REAL_MODEL=true
+   ```
+
+3. **Restart the Space** - weights will download automatically!
+
+**Why use a model repo?** Faster downloads, version control, share across Spaces, no git-lfs needed!

+# How to Upload FoundationPose Weights to Hugging Face
+
+This guide shows you how to host FoundationPose model weights in a Hugging Face model repository, which is much better than using git-lfs in your Space.
+
+## Why Use a Model Repository?
+
+✅ **Benefits:**
+- Designed for large files (GB+)
+- Fast CDN downloads
+- Version control for weights
+- Share weights across multiple Spaces
+- No need for git-lfs in Space repo
+- Better download performance
+
+## Step-by-Step Guide
+
+### 1. Download Official Weights
+
+First, get the official FoundationPose weights from Google Drive:
+
+**Download Link:** https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GCyGE-LbFGgRC-FuGsF3a1zeBuzsQ1Da
+
+Download these two folders:
+- `2023-10-28-18-33-37/` (refiner weights, ~900MB)
+- `2024-01-11-20-02-45/` (scorer weights, ~900MB)
+
+Save them locally in a directory structure like:
+```
+foundationpose-weights/
+├── 2023-10-28-18-33-37/
+│   ├── model.pth
+│   └── ...
+└── 2024-01-11-20-02-45/
+    ├── model.pth
+    └── ...
+```
+
+### 2. Create Hugging Face Model Repository
+
+**Option A: Using the Web Interface**
+
+1. Go to https://huggingface.co/new
+2. Choose "Model" (not Space or Dataset)
+3. Set owner to your username (e.g., `gpue`)
+4. Set name: `foundationpose-weights`
+5. Make it **Public** (so your Space can download it) or Private (requires token)
+6. Click "Create model"
+
+**Option B: Using the CLI**
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli login  # Enter your token
+
+# Create repo
+huggingface-cli repo create foundationpose-weights --type model
+```
+
+### 3. Upload Weights to Model Repository
+
+**Option A: Using the Web Interface**
+
+1. Go to your model repo: `https://huggingface.co/YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights`
+2. Click "Files" → "Add file" → "Upload files"
+3. Drag and drop the two weight folders
+4. Click "Commit changes"
+
+⚠️ **Note:** Web upload may be slow for large files. Use CLI for better experience.
+
+**Option B: Using the CLI (Recommended)**
+
+```bash
+# From the directory containing your weight folders
+huggingface-cli upload YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights ./2023-10-28-18-33-37 2023-10-28-18-33-37
+huggingface-cli upload YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights ./2024-01-11-20-02-45 2024-01-11-20-02-45
+```
+
+**Option C: Using Python Script**
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import HfApi
+from pathlib import Path
+
+api = HfApi()
+repo_id = "YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights"
+weights_dir = Path("./foundationpose-weights")
+
+print("Uploading weights to Hugging Face...")
+
+# Upload entire directory
+api.upload_folder(
+    folder_path=str(weights_dir),
+    repo_id=repo_id,
+    repo_type="model"
+)
+
+print("✓ Upload complete!")
+```
+
+### 4. Add Model Card (README)
+
+Create a `README.md` in your model repo to document the weights:
+
+```markdown
+---
+license: cc-by-nc-4.0
+tags:
+  - computer-vision
+  - 6d-pose-estimation
+  - object-detection
+  - robotics
+---
+
+# FoundationPose Model Weights
+
+Pre-trained weights for [FoundationPose](https://github.com/NVlabs/FoundationPose) 6D object pose estimation model.
+
+## Model Details
+
+- **Refiner weights:** `2023-10-28-18-33-37/`
+- **Scorer weights:** `2024-01-11-20-02-45/`
+- **Source:** [Official FoundationPose release](https://github.com/NVlabs/FoundationPose)
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+
+# Download all weights
+snapshot_download(
+    repo_id="YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights",
+    local_dir="./weights"
+)
+```

+
+```
+FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO=YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights
+USE_HF_WEIGHTS=true
+USE_REAL_MODEL=true
+```
+
+Or set in your Space's Dockerfile/code:
+
+```python
+import os
+os.environ["FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO"] = "gpue/foundationpose-weights"
+os.environ["USE_HF_WEIGHTS"] = "true"
+```
+
+### 6. Test the Setup
+
+**Test locally:**
+
+```bash
+cd foundationpose
+
+# Set environment variables
+export FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO="YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights"
+export USE_HF_WEIGHTS="true"
+
+# Download weights
+python download_weights.py
+
+# Should see:
+# ✓ Download complete!
+# ✓ Model weights found locally!
+```
+
+**Test in Space:**
+
+After pushing to HF Spaces, check the build logs:
+1. Go to your Space → Logs
+2. Look for "Downloading from Hugging Face Model Repository"
+3. Should see "✓ Download complete!"
+
+### 7. Verify Weights Are Correct
+
+Check that the downloaded structure matches:
+
+```bash
+ls -R weights/
+
+# Should show:
+# weights/2023-10-28-18-33-37/
+# weights/2024-01-11-20-02-45/
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Repository not found"
+
+- Check repo name matches exactly: `YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights`
+- Make sure repo is Public, or provide HF token for private repos
+- Verify you're logged in: `huggingface-cli whoami`
+
+### "Upload failed"
+
+- Check your internet connection
+- Try uploading smaller chunks
+- Use CLI instead of web interface for large files
+
+### "Out of storage"
+
+- HF free tier has storage limits (~50GB)
+- Request more storage or use smaller model variants
+- Host on your own S3/CDN as alternative
+
+### Private Repository Access
+
+If your model repo is private, set HF token in Space secrets:
+
+1. Get token from https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
+2. Add to Space: Settings → Repository secrets → `HF_TOKEN`
+3. Code will automatically use it:
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+import os
+
+snapshot_download(
+    repo_id="YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights",
+    local_dir="./weights",
+    token=os.environ.get("HF_TOKEN")  # Uses secret
+)
+```
+
+## Example: Complete Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Download from Google Drive (manual)
+# Save to: ~/Downloads/foundationpose-weights/
+
+# 2. Install HF CLI
+pip install huggingface_hub
+huggingface-cli login
+
+# 3. Create model repo
+huggingface-cli repo create foundationpose-weights --type model
+
+# 4. Upload weights
+cd ~/Downloads/foundationpose-weights
+huggingface-cli upload gpue/foundationpose-weights . .
+
+# 5. Update your Space
+cd /path/to/foundationpose
+git add .
+git commit -m "Use HF model repo for weights"
+git push
+
+# 6. Set Space secrets
+# Go to: https://huggingface.co/spaces/gpue/foundationpose/settings
+# Add: FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO=gpue/foundationpose-weights
+# Add: USE_HF_WEIGHTS=true
+# Add: USE_REAL_MODEL=true
+
+# 7. Check Space logs
+# Visit: https://huggingface.co/spaces/gpue/foundationpose/logs
+# Should see weights downloading automatically
+```
+
+## Alternative: Public Model Repos
+
+If someone else has already uploaded the weights, you can use their repo:
+
+```bash
+# Example (if available)
+export FOUNDATIONPOSE_MODEL_REPO="some-user/foundationpose-weights"
+```
+
+Common public repos (check if they exist):
+- `nvidia/foundationpose` (official, if available)
+- Community uploads (search on HF)
+
+## Cost
+
+✅ **Free tier:**
+- Unlimited model repos
+- ~50GB storage per repo
+- Unlimited downloads (public repos)
+- No bandwidth costs
+
+📈 **Pro tier ($9/month):**
+- More storage
+- Private repos with teams
+- Priority support
+
+---
+
+**Quick Reference:**
+
+```bash
+# Create repo
+huggingface-cli repo create foundationpose-weights --type model
+
+# Upload
+huggingface-cli upload YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights ./weights .
+
+# Download in Space (automatic)
+python download_weights.py
+
+# Or download manually
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+snapshot_download("YOUR_USERNAME/foundationpose-weights", local_dir="./weights")
+```
+
+---
+
+You're all set! Your FoundationPose Space will now automatically download weights from your model repository on first run. 🎉
