I am getting these errors quite frequently from the API after I fetched the latest version from main

This one got fixed after plugin reinstallation

[ParamThakkar123]

Depends on transformerlab/transformerlab-app#882

This is probably caused by an older version of the plugin. The error will go away when you update your plugin

tail field in job data stored things correctly for me, but I think the initial startup of the subprocess isthe one that takes time and there is no output in console then. Which is why you'll only see Starting model... for most plugins while only some whose actual process also takes time, those will show these things.

Maybe @dadmobile can help us resolve but I think this wont solve the problem right?

Also side note, we wouldn't need to add a new server logs route in API right?
I thought you were just reading from job data directly on the frontend already

Just for reference this is what tail had in job data:

{
  "tail": [
    "2025-11-17 07:55:03 | INFO | model_worker | Loading the model ['Qwen3-0.6B'] on workerb617e619, worker type: MLX worker...",

  ]
}

To be ported into transformerlab/transformerlab-app#882

[ParamThakkar123]

@deep1401 I already added this code to the linked pull request on the app. We can probably close this :)

[deep1401]

Code has been ported to App so closing this
