Cannot figure out how to create/upload a dataset correctly.

it keeps saying unable to process dataset.

My verify is setup correctly:

from ultralytics.hub import check_dataset

check_dataset('data8.zip', task="segment")

PS C:\Users\antdx\Downloads\SAM2> python verify.py

Hi @AntDX316, thanks for reaching out!

We currently have no issues on our end with uploading valid datasets to Ultralytics HUB. To ensure your dataset is formatted correctly, please watch this YouTube video: Upload Datasets to Ultralytics HUB , which provides a step-by-step guide for creating a valid dataset for Ultralytics HUB. Once you've checked your dataset, try uploading it again following the instructions in the video and in the documentation here.

If the issue persists, please let us know with any additional details, such as a screenshot or a sample of your dataset structure. This will help us assist you further. Thank you for your patience!

I'm using the default one to see.

Might as well see the whole dataset:
I'm just trying to see what it can do.
data8.zip

Ultimately, I'm trying to figure out how to make my own ones the Computer Vision can detect.

I was trying to use SAM2:
https://docs.ultralytics.com/models/sam-2/#sam-2-comparison-vs-yolov8

from ultralytics.data.annotator import auto_annotate

auto_annotate(data="images", det_model="yolo11x.pt", sam_model="sam2_b.pt")

Please fix the verify.py as it shouldn't say Checks completed correctly when it's not ready or it's bust on the Ultralytics HUB side.

From my end, I have no idea if this is even how to do it.
Can you guys release code to do it properly on python as well as an area on the Ultralytics HUB site to do this with an easy to use UI?

@AntDX316 Strange, upload works fine on my end. We will investigate this further.
