Use when adding, debugging, or validating a bring-your-own VLM in VSS RT-VLM, including a custom Hugging Face or NGC checkpoint loaded with configuration only (VLM_MODEL_TO_USE=vllm-compatible), plus adapters, plugins, shims, and model-specific runtime dependencies. Not for ordinary catalog-preset deployment of an already-wired model; use vss-deploy-dense-captioning for that.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# RTVI BYOM Porting ## Purpose Port a VLM into the VSS RT-VLM service without hard-coding one checkpoint or GPU platform. Prefer configuration, then an RTVI adapter or vLLM plugin, and patch vLLM only when the supported extension points cannot express the model. Use `vss-deploy-dense-captioning` for ordinary catalog-preset deployment of an already-wired model (for example `cosmos-reason3`). Use this skill for a custom or private checkpoint even when path 1 (configuration only) is enough, and when architecture, processor, weight mapping, runtime dependencies, or request adaptation requires repository work. ## Model Contract Before changing code, record: - immutable model source and revision, license and access requirements; - architecture, processor, tokenizer, quantization and context length; - vision-token and frame-sampling assumptions; - CUDA architecture, memory, vLLM/runtime and custom-kernel requirements. For a private Hugging Face source, use `HF_TOKEN` only during authenticated download/cache population. Never print it, embed it in `MODEL_PATH`, or bake it into an image. Prove the cached model starts after the temporary credential is …

How to install
mdr add nvidia-ai-blueprints/video-search-and-summarization/rtvi-byom-porting@sha256:6b23177feed41f4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v3.3.0-rc0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
