Projects¶

Projects are optional organizational tags within a workspace. They let you group related resources—such as datasets, customization jobs, and evaluation results—without creating separate access boundaries. Anyone with access to the workspace can see all its projects.

Use projects when you need to organize related work within a team. For example, group everything related to a fine-tuning experiment (llama-3-customer-support-v2) or an evaluation campaign (quarterly-eval-2025q1). For access isolation between teams or environments, use separate workspaces instead.

Project vs. Workspace¶

Need	Solution
Separate teams or users	Different workspaces
Separate environments (dev/prod)	Different workspaces
Group related work	Project within a workspace
Quick one-off task	Workspace only, no project

Think of workspaces as filing cabinets (separate, locked) and projects as labels you can apply to documents within a cabinet.

Create a Project¶

To create a project, provide a name and optionally a description. The name must be unique within the workspace.

Resource names must follow these rules:

Must start with a lowercase letter (a-z)
2-63 characters long
Allowed characters: lowercase letters, digits, hyphens, and temporarily @, ., +, _
No consecutive hyphens (--)
Cannot end with a hyphen

Example valid names: my-model, llama-3.2-3b, test-config-v1

Once created, a project cannot be renamed.

Python SDKCLI

import os
from nemo_platform import NeMoPlatform

client = NeMoPlatform(
    base_url=os.environ.get("NMP_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:8080"),
    workspace="default",
)

project = client.projects.create(
    workspace="ml-team",
    name="llama-finetune-v2",
    description="Fine-tuning experiment for customer support",
)

nemo projects create \
    --workspace ml-team \
    --name llama-finetune-v2 \
    --description "Fine-tuning experiment for customer support"

List Projects¶

To list projects in a workspace, call the list endpoint. The response includes pagination metadata.

Python SDKCLI

import os
from nemo_platform import NeMoPlatform

client = NeMoPlatform(
    base_url=os.environ.get("NMP_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:8080"),
    workspace="default",
)

response = client.projects.list(workspace="ml-team")
for project in response.data:
    print(f"{project.name}: {project.description}")

nemo projects list --workspace ml-team

Get a Project¶

To retrieve a specific project by its name:

Python SDKCLI

import os
from nemo_platform import NeMoPlatform

client = NeMoPlatform(
    base_url=os.environ.get("NMP_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:8080"),
    workspace="default",
)

project = client.projects.retrieve("llama-finetune-v2", workspace="ml-team")

nemo projects get llama-finetune-v2 --workspace ml-team

Update a Project¶

To update a project, only the description field can be modified. The name cannot be changed after creation.

Python SDKCLI

import os
from nemo_platform import NeMoPlatform

client = NeMoPlatform(
    base_url=os.environ.get("NMP_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:8080"),
    workspace="default",
)

project = client.projects.update(
    "llama-finetune-v2",
    workspace="ml-team",
    description="Updated: Fine-tuning experiment for customer support chatbot",
)

nemo projects update llama-finetune-v2 \
    --workspace ml-team \
    --description "Updated: Fine-tuning experiment for customer support chatbot"

Delete a Project¶

To delete a project:

Python SDKCLI

import os
from nemo_platform import NeMoPlatform

client = NeMoPlatform(
    base_url=os.environ.get("NMP_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:8080"),
    workspace="default",
)

client.projects.delete("llama-finetune-v2", workspace="ml-team")

nemo projects delete llama-finetune-v2 --workspace ml-team
