How can i get the native pt file of the ”https://universe.roboflow.com/cricket-qnb5l/basketball-xil7x ” model

hello there, I want to fine-tune https://universe.roboflow.com/cricket-qnb5l/basketball-xil7x model ,can i download the pt file from anywhere?

  • Project Type: HELP
  • Operating System & Browser:
  • Project Universe Link or Workspace/Project ID:
  • Do you grant Roboflow Support permission to access your Workspace for troubleshooting? (Yes/No):

Im new here, thanks for answering

Hey. No, there’s not an option if it’s just a public dataset/model. But if you trained the model you can download the weights. Here’s a full answer from AI:

Can You Download .pt Files from Universe Datasets?

No — Roboflow does not support downloading model weight files (.pt or otherwise) directly from Roboflow Universe projects. [Forum: Download model weights] [Forum: Download from Universe]

However, you have two alternatives:

1. Download the Dataset (images + annotations)

You can download the dataset (images and annotations) from Universe in over 40 formats (e.g., YOLOv8, COCO, VOC, etc.) as a ZIP file or via a code snippet. [Download a Universe Dataset]

2. Run the Model Locally via Roboflow Inference

If you want to run a Universe model locally without downloading weights, use the open-source Roboflow Inference package, which automatically fetches and caches model weights on first use. [Download Model Weights]

3. Download Weights from Your Own Trained Models

If you trained a model in your own Roboflow workspace (not a Universe project), you can download the .pt weights — this feature is available on Basic, Growth, and certain Enterprise plans. [Download Model Weights]
