Transferring RoBERTa model weights into SAS Model Manager or Model Studio

[thistleandtweed]

Hello experts. 

I am trying to import the weights of RoBERTa from huggingface into SAS viya, as importing it via sasctl might take up a lot of time and space. 

I was thinking of registering the prompts within sasctl, and then creating SAS score code that pulls RoBERTa from huggingface directly from an API that I would host in python. 

Would it be possible to do the above, and then register RoBERTa as a model in model manager and/or use it in model studio as part of my pipeline? Has anyone done this before, please advise. 

Thank you!
