I have been using AI assisted box prompting, it’s not stable (error from time to time), but when it works, it works. But today when I use it, unlike previously it fail like every other trial, it keep failing, I checked the browser dev tool, seeing the infer API throw error every time with {“error”:“Error processing OWL-ViT infer request”}, I also checked my credit and it’s still not used up.

So I am not sure what happened and when what else I can do (instead of doing annotation manually).

There is an issue with the Box Prompting service that we are working to resolve. I will update this thread to report any progress we make.

We’ve released a fix for this service, and it should be working fully as expected. Please let us know if you experience any additional errors with the platform!
