Description

Search before asking
  • I have searched the Inference issues and found no similar feature requests.
Description

We have now run() and run_remotely() blocks methods. Additionally, there is only one single flag deciding on local vs remote run
Probably better idea would be to have only run() and be able to decide on local vs remote run at the step level, based on environment configuration.
Original idea: https://github.com/roboflow/inference/pull/343#discussion_r1585670447

Research direction

Start by locating the workflow block methods run() and run_remotely(), then read the design discussion in PR #343 linked from the issue. Clarify how environment configuration should select local versus remote execution at each step; done means the separate remote method is replaced by the agreed step-level behavior.
