Can I export/download the model file created after completing the training with the credits? ---

> ℹ **Update (September 2026):** Model weights download is now available on every plan, including the Free Tier, through the [Roboflow Inference](https://inference.roboflow.com) package or the Python SDK. See [Download Roboflow Model Weights](https://docs.roboflow.com/models/model-weights/download-roboflow-model-weights). Self-hosting with Roboflow Inference is also free and doesn’t consume credits.

Thanks, Mohamed. - Testing local deployment: [Launch: Test Computer Vision Models Locally](https://blog.roboflow.com/locally-deploy-computer-vision/) Do we have any limit on the number of times I can use the model for a local deployment? i.e Is there a limit on No. of times I can call model.predict()? ---

> ℹ **Update (September 2026):** Self-hosted inference no longer consumes credits. Running models on your own hardware with [Roboflow Inference](https://inference.roboflow.com) is free on every plan, including the Free Tier. Only Roboflow Cloud deployments (Serverless API, Dedicated Deployments, cloud video streams) use credits. See [roboflow.com/pricing](https://roboflow.com/pricing) for current details. * * * _Original answer (January 2023):_ Hi @joseva_vacha, for deployment to devices, there is a device limit of 5 free devices for deployment. - [Roboflow Pricing: Free, Core & Enterprise Plans](https://roboflow.com/pricing) These are the posted device limits on the Pricing page for Public workspaces, for example: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/roboflow1/original/2X/2/2e3f8f0d38d3e5709491b2ee2d93a110fcc0bc77.png) If you ever receive an error on the device count (i.e the system reading as you’ve deployed to 5 total devices, when you haven’t) please do email us, and I’m happy to get the setting reconfigured. If you use regular [Hosted API Inference](https://docs.roboflow.com/inference/hosted-api), there are 1,000 free inference credits provided each month for projects in your workspace. ---

Additionally, feel free to Apply for Research Credits, or to become a Blog Contributor, for access to higher device limits without charge: [Contribute to the Computer Vision Community](https://roboflow.com/community) We’ll get your form reviewed, and set the device limits for your project based on what is approved. If you are just working on a short-term personal project, we’re also happy to add higher limits for tagging us in a social media post about the project, or including a link to the project in your GitHub repository. ---

you guys should allow downloading the model weights just a feedback ---

Yes, please consider allowing to download the weights, I have to run in an experimental verdin development board for a startup and I had high hopes for this only to stumble on this blog… ---
