Hello there,new here My name is Alex I am trying to train a model using autotrain with a very small dataset because i am a beginner,i am just trying this in order to learn not for serious use The thing is,i am stuck and keep seeing this error all the time and then the page “restart this space” automatically appears.Anyone can help?Thanks in advance ![IMG_6444](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/8/2/822c7e7f16182455d9e2d644e30e085174778045.jpeg) ---

I don’t know why, but it’s probably a similar case. There have been multiple reports that it doesn’t work. > [@Using autotrain api but not seeing any files generated](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/using-autotrain-api-but-not-seeing-any-files-generated/146980): > > i have persistence using example similar to this: it says that it’s saving the model but then i don’t see anything anywhere setting push\_to\_hub in the curl json has no effect – it still says push\_to\_hub:false in the logs help would be greatly appreciated if at least i knew where the files were saved in /data that would be a start, but after it runs i don’t see anything in /data anywhere it ends with: INFO | 2025-03-22 22:24:34 | autotrain.trainers.clm.utils:post\_training\_steps:416 … ---

It sounds like you’re running into an issue where **AutoTrain keeps restarting your Space** , which can be frustrating—especially when you’re just trying to learn the basics. ### **Possible Causes** 1. **Insufficient Dataset Size** – AutoTrain may require a minimum number of samples to function properly. If your dataset is too small, it might trigger an error. 2. **Space Configuration Issues** – Some users have reported that Spaces automatically pause or restart due to misconfigured settings[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/autotrain-space-automatically-pauses-during-training/142529?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1"). 3. **GPU or Memory Constraints** – If your Space is running on limited resources, it might be failing due to memory overload[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/autotrain-not-working-at-all/94363?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2"). 4. **AutoTrain Defaults** – Some parameters might not be set correctly, causing unexpected behavior[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/need-help-interpreting-autotrain-error-log/70131?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "3"). ### **Potential Fixes** - **Increase Dataset Size** – Try adding more samples to see if it resolves the issue. - **Check Space Settings** – If your Space has a `PAUSE_ON_FAILURE` setting, set it to `0` instead of `1` to prevent automatic restarts[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/autotrain-space-automatically-pauses-during-training/142529?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "1"). - **Review Logs** – Click on the logs in your Space to see if there are specific error messages that indicate the root cause[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/autotrain-not-working-at-all/94363?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "2"). - **Try a Different Model** – If the issue persists, test with a simpler model to see if the problem is model-specific[43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/need-help-interpreting-autotrain-error-log/70131?citationMarker=43dcd9a7-70db-4a1f-b0ae-981daa162054 "3").
