Unable to download checkpoint in Colab from Google Drive

[deepakri201]

Hi,

I'm working through an adapted version of the tutorial_quickstart.ipynb notebook. However, I am working in google colab. To download the file from google drive, I do the following:

Unfortunately, this results in the following error:

Would it be possible to host the checkpoint as part of a github release attachment? There is no limit on the number of files, and each file can be a max of 2GB.

Thank you,

Deepa

Related to this, for the notebook mentioned in #209 we attached the checkpoint to a release of the repository with the notebook https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/IDC-Tutorials/blob/master/notebooks/analysis/MedSAM_with_IDC.ipynb (anticipating difficulties of accessing this large file from Google Drive) - you can do the same thing here.

Hi @deepakri201 ,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. To address the difficulty you've encountered in downloading our model checkpoint, we are now hosting the pretrained weights on Zenodo. Could you please try using the following command to download the pretrained weights, replacing the previous gdown code snippet:

!wget https://zenodo.org/records/10689643/files/medsam_vit_b.pth
