It looks like model_info is not implemented at all. E.g. https://ores-legacy.wikimedia.org/v3/scores/enwiki?model_info=statistics.thr...
I get {"detail":{"error":{"code":"bad request","message":"model_info query parameter is not supported by this endpoint anymore. For more information please visit https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/ORES%22%7D%7D%7D
But when I go to that page, nothing discusses model_info. Is there a way to get this from LiftWing?

Do you have a tag for filing bugs against ORES-legacy? I can't seem to find a relevant one in phab.

Hi Aaron!
Thanks for following up. The API is almost compatible with what ORES currently does, but there are limitations (like the max number of revisions in a batch etc..). The API clearly states when something is not supported, so you can check its compatibility now making some requests to:
https://ores-legacy.wikimedia.org
If you open a task with a list of systems that you need to migrate we can definitely take a look and help. So far the traffic being served by ORES has been reduced to few clients, and all of them don't run with recognizable UAs (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy) so we'll try our best to support them. The migration to Lift Wing has been widely publicized, a lot of documentation is available to migrate. We'd suggest trying Lift Wing for your systems instead (see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/LiftWing/Usage).
The Machine Learning plan is to eventually deprecate ores-legacy too, to maintain only one system (namely Lift Wing). There is no final date yet, we'll try to reach out to all remaining users first, so if you plan to keep using ores-legacy please follow up with us first :)
Thanks!
Luca (on behalf of the ML Team)

Does the new ores-legacy support the same feature set. E.g. features output, injection, and threshold optimizations. Or is it just prediction? This will affect some of the systems I need to migrate.

Hello!
As a next step in the deprecation process of ORES https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/ORES the Machine Learning team will switch the backend of ores.wikimedia.org to ores-legacy, a k8s application meant to provide a compatibility layer between ORES and Lift Wing so users that have not yet migrated to Lift Wing will be transparently migrated. Ores-legacy is an application that has the same API as ORES but in the background makes requests to Lift Wing, allowing us to decommission the ORES servers until all clients have moved.
This change is planned to take place on Monday 25th of September. If you have a client/application that is still using ORES we expect that this switch is going to be transparent for you.
However keep in mind that ores-legacy is not a 100% replacement for ORES as some old and unused features are no longer supported.
If you see anything out of the ordinary, feel free to contact the Machine Learning team:

Thank you!

On that matter, what do you folks make of the recent announcements of AMD's partnerships with Hugging Face and Pytorch[5]? (which, I understand, came after the ML team had already launched the aforementioned new AMD explorations)
"Open-source AI: AMD looks to Hugging Face and Meta spinoff PyTorch to take on Nvidia [...] Both partnerships involve AMD’s ROCm AI software stack, the company’s answer to Nvidia’s proprietary CUDA platform and application-programming interface. AMD called ROCm an open and portable AI system with out-of-the-box support that can port to existing AI models. [...B]oth AMD and Hugging Face are dedicating engineering resources to each other and sharing data to ensure that the constantly updated AI models from Hugging Face, which might not otherwise run well on AMD hardware, would be “guaranteed” to work on hardware like the MI300X. [...] AMD said PyTorch will fully upstream the ROCm software stack and “provide immediate ‘day zero’ support for PyTorch 2.0 with ROCm release 5.4.2 on all AMD Instinct accelerators,” which is meant to appeal to those customers looking to switch from Nvidia’s software ecosystem."
In their own announcement, Hugging Face offered further details, including a pretty impressive list of models to be supported:[6]
"We intend to support state-of-the-art transformer architectures for natural language processing, computer vision, and speech, such as BERT, DistilBERT, ROBERTA, Vision Transformer, CLIP, and Wav2Vec2. Of course, generative AI models will be available too (e.g., GPT2, GPT-NeoX, T5, OPT, LLaMA), including our own BLOOM and StarCoder models. Lastly, we will also support more traditional computer vision models, like ResNet and ResNext, and deep learning recommendation models, a first for us. [..] We'll do our best to test and validate these models for PyTorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX Runtime for the above platforms. [...] We will integrate the AMD ROCm SDK seamlessly in our open-source libraries, starting with the transformers library."
Do you think this may promise too much, or could it point to a possible solution of the Foundation's conundrum? In any case, this seems to be an interesting moment where many in AI are trying to move away from Nvidia's proprietary CUDA platform. Most of them probably more for financial and availability reasons though, given the current GPU shortages[7] (which the ML team is undoubtedly aware of already; mentioning this as context for others on this list. See also Marketwatch's remarks about current margins[5]).
