I’ve been trying to upload a model to my project from a local Jupiter notebook. It kept coming back with an error saying that the model failed to upload. Took a look at forum and saw that images must be square. So I created a version with 640X640 dataset and added the imgsz=640 argument. Yet still, it will not upload and keeps telling me the upload failed.

HI @Jay_Fischer - can you try this process:

1. Generate a new version of the dataset

2. To export the dataset, and begin model training, click the appropriate model architecture here:

3. Select “Get Snippet”

4. Click the small “copy” icon:

5. Open the appropriate notebook from the [`notebooks` Repository](https://github.com/roboflow/notebooks), and “Save a Copy in Drive”

6. Follow the training process outlined in the notebook, and be sure you have explicitly set the `img` or `imgsz` parameter in the training code, [based on how you’ve resized your images](https://blog.roboflow.com/you-might-be-resizing-your-images-incorrectly/) – Preprocessing, Resize [Documentation](https://docs.roboflow.com/image-transformations/image-preprocessing#resize):

- Example for YOLOv5 object detection  

- Example for YOLOv7 Instance Segmentation  

- Example for YOLOv8 object detection  

1. Once the training has completed, proceed to the `version.deploy()` step, where you will run the function to upload your model weights

If you see an error again, after going through this process, please reply to me here.

@Mohamed redid the model and it failed again. Project is [FTC GEN 8872 CLASSIFIED Object Detection Dataset (v9, Please Work) by Test](https://universe.roboflow.com/test-deipp/ftc-gen-8872-classified/dataset/9)
