 # Caffe Model Zoo
 
 Lots of people have used Caffe to train models of different architectures and applied to different problems, ranging from simple regression to AlexNet-alikes to Siamese networks for image similarity to speech applications.
-
 To lower the friction of sharing these models, we introduce the model zoo framework:
 
 - A standard format for packaging Caffe model info.

 ## Hosting model info
 
 Github Gist is a good format for model info distribution because it can contain multiple files, is versionable, and has in-browser syntax highlighting and markdown rendering.
 
-- `scripts/download_model_from_gist.sh <gist_id>`: downloads the non-binary files from a Gist into `<dirname>`
 - `scripts/upload_model_to_gist.sh <dirname>`: uploads non-binary files in the model directory as a Github Gist and prints the Gist ID. If `gist_id` is already part of the `<dirname>/readme.md` frontmatter, then updates existing Gist.
 
+Try doing `scripts/upload_model_to_gist.sh models/bvlc_alexnet` to test the uploading (don't forget to delete the uploaded gist afterward).
+
+Downloading models is not yet supported as a script (there is no good commandline tool for this right now), so simply go to the Gist URL and click "Download Gist" for now.

 ### Hosting trained models
 
 It is up to the user where to host the `.caffemodel` file.
 We host our BVLC-provided models on our own server.
 Dropbox also works fine (tip: make sure that `?dl=1` is appended to the end of the URL).
 
 - `scripts/download_model_binary.py <dirname>`: downloads the `.caffemodel` from the URL specified in the `<dirname>/readme.md` frontmatter and confirms SHA1.

 We all experience times when the power goes out, or we feel like rewarding ourself a little by playing Battlefield (does anyone still remember Quake?). Since we are snapshotting intermediate results during training, we will be able to resume from snapshots. This can be done as easy as:
 
-    ./build/tools/caffe train --solver=examples/imagenet/imagenet_solver.prototxt --snapshot=examples/imagenet/caffe_imagenet_10000.solverstate
