tao-finetune-video-clip

tao-finetune-video-clip is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA-TAO/tao-skill-bank. It costs 111 tokens per session (3,781 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A video-and-text machine-learning toolkit for finding matching videos and text, classifying videos without task-specific training, extracting video representations, and training or exporting the model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fine-tune, evaluate, or run InternVideo2-CLIP; extract embeddings, which are numeric representations of video content; export the model to ONNX; or build a TensorRT engine.
Why use it?
It gives developers a defined workflow for training, testing, running, and exporting an InternVideo2-CLIP model, including conversion for TensorRT, NVIDIA's system for faster machine-learning inference.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tao-finetune-video-clip scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 270 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

InternVideo2-CLIP (TAO video_clip)

Standalone install? If this session was not initialized by the TAO skill bank plugin, run the tao-setup skill first (host preflight, credentials, cross-skill discovery).

TAO task video_clip wraps OpenGVLab InternVideo2-CLIP L14. The PyTorch image provides train, evaluate, inference, export, and default_specs. TAO Deploy provides gen_trt_engine, TensorRT evaluate, and TensorRT inference.

Container images and per-action commands are in references/skill_info.yaml and references/tao-deploy-video-clip.skill_info.yaml. Starting specs are in references/spec_template_*.yaml.

Release note: The pinned PyTorch image is the TAO 7.2 FC build validated for Video-CLIP. The pinned tag resolves to OCI digest sha256:faeb58559e1d87afd16453580999c178feb345f9dc87e35b8f40098e9604dd09; it includes PyAV 17.1.0 as the primary decoder and ONNXScript 0.7.1 for export, with decord absent. The TAO Deploy image is pinned independently because gen_trt_engine and TensorRT-backed actions do not run in the PyTorch image.

Known-broken images: interim builds cut before tao-pytorch commit 0cc31de4 ship a video_clip package with no model.backbones submodule, so train/evaluate/inference die at import while video_clip --help still exits 0. Images without PyAV also fail at data loading. Run both import checks in the preflight below before pulling data or launching a run.

Train Action Policy

AutoML is not packaged for this model skill. Always use direct video_clip actions even when a higher-level request mentions AutoML. Non-train actions stay in this skill.

Quick Start (local Docker)

Use the pinned TAO container declared in references/skill_info.yaml. Pull with NGC_KEY when the image is not cached locally.

VIDEO_CLIP_IMAGE_DEFAULT="nvcr.io/nvstaging/tao/tao-toolkit-pyt:v7.0.1-pyt2.1.0-py3-06"  # versions-key: images.tao_toolkit.video_clip

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
