CreateML Object Detection Unable to load model from file for reading

Hi,

I'm working on training a createML object detector model; I've run into an issue that has me stumped - when I reach somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 iterations my model will stop training and error out.

More Details:

  • CreateML gives me the error prompt that says it is unable to train the model please delete the model source and start from the beginning or duplicate the model and start from the beginning (slightly paraphrased)

  • I see the following error in the createML console (my user name and UUIDs have been redacted)

Unable to load model from file:///Users/<my user name>/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.createml/projects/<UUID HERE>/sessions/checkpoint.sessions/<UUID Here>//training-000132500.checkpoint: Cannot open file:///Users/<my user name>/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.createml/projects/<UUID Here>/sessions/checkpoint.sessions/<uuid here> //training-000132500.checkpoint/dir_archive.ini for read. Cannot open /Users/<my username>/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.createml/projects/<UUID>/sessions/checkpoint.sessions/<UUID>//training-000132500.checkpoint/dir_archive.ini for reading
  • I've gone into my Caches in my Library directory and I see each piece of the file path in finder UNTIL the //training-00132500 piece of the path, so I can at least confirm that createML appears to be unable to create or open the file it needs for this training session.

Technology Used:

  • Xcode 16
  • Apple M1 Pro
  • MacOS 14.6.1 (23G93)

I've also verified that Xcode and terminal have full disk permissions in my system preferences - I didn't see an option to add CreateML to this list.

I've also ensured that my createML project and its data sources are not in iCloud and are indeed local on my desktop.

Lastly, I made more space on my machine, so I should have a little over 1 TB of space.

Has anybody experienced this before? Any advice? I am majorly blocked on this issue, so I hope somebody else can help shed some light on this issue!

Thanks!
