Set up Borzoi as a remote tool

Sharing this model for a user, not developing it? Follow the tooluniverse-share-computer guide; no ToolUniverse source checkout is needed. The model runs in its own Python environment, with its dependencies:

~/.local/bin/uv venv --python 3.12 ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi
curl -fsSL -o ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi-tooluniverse.txt https://connect.aiscientist.tools/install-requirements.txt
curl -fsSL -o ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi-requirements.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mims-harvard/ToolUniverse/main/src/tooluniverse/remote/borzoi/requirements.txt
~/.local/bin/uv pip install --python ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi/bin/python -r ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi-tooluniverse.txt -r ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi-requirements.txt
~/.local/bin/tu remote check borzoi --python ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi/bin/python   # lists anything still missing
~/.local/bin/tu serve --allow borzoi --python ~/.tooluniverse/envs/borzoi/bin/python --share --detach --name "<computer name>" --service https://tooluniverse-backend.onrender.com

If the check reports a missing environment variable (a data folder, a model cache, a provider key), set it in the same shell before tu serve; "Obtain credentials, data, and model weights" below says what each one is. The model reads only the variables it declares.

The rest of this guide is for developers working from the ToolUniverse source, and for diagnosing problems with this model.

Validation status (2026-08-16): a fresh Python 3.12 service environment resolved borzoi-pytorch 0.4.4 with its supported Transformers 4.50.3 dependency, loaded official weights on the GB10, and returned bounded finite prediction and variant-effect results through a strict loopback TOU endpoint. Four concurrent fixture calls also passed with serialized model access. NVIDIA's aarch64 cusparselt wheel still reports incompatible platform metadata in uv pip check; public publication, cross-user isolation, saturation, recovery, and biological accuracy remain incomplete, so keep this private. Authenticated private Platform import and owner testing passed on 2026-08-16; public publication and independent-caller authorization/isolation remain untested.
