Hey, Let’s break this down. The log line where it gets stuck is very telling:Loading the model from /tmp/tmpo_m3mha8/train_DIETClassifier5/DIETClassifier.tf_model with finetune_mode=False…
The fact that it hangs here, especially after the “Following metrics will be logged during training” debug message, strongly points to an issue with the TensorFlow model loading process in your Azure environment.
It’s either Azure’s CPU doesn’t support the instruction sets TensorFlow expects or Insufficient memory.
In your Dockerfile, make sure you are copying the model into a fresh location and that the rasa run command is pointing to it correctly. A good practice is to use a dedicated directory like /app/models.
