"Unable to initialize python raster function with scalar arguments" on an NVIDIA machine

I am trying to run a notebook given to me by Esri Support staff (case #02587809) and when I try to run the arcpy.ia.DetectObjectsUsingDeepLearning function I recieve the following error message:

Failed to execute (DetectObjectsUsingDeepLearning).

I have tried various workarounds from similar threads but nothing so far. I am using a g3s.xlarge machine and remote desktop (windows machine) with GPU enabled.
I have verified that the GPU is being used by running:

cudaDevice=torch.cuda.current_device()
print ("GPU-Device: "+str(cudaDevice))
print ("GPU-Device-Info: "+str(torch.cuda.device(cudaDevice)))
print ("GPU-Device-Count: "+str(torch.cuda.device_count()))
print ("GPU-Device-Name: "+str(torch.cuda.get_device_name(cudaDevice)))
print ("GPU-Device-Availability: "+str(torch.cuda.is_available()))
#now some more info
device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
print('Using device:', device)
print()
#Additional Info when using cuda
if device.type == 'cuda':
 print(torch.cuda.get_device_name(0))
 print('Memory Usage:')
 print('Allocated:', round(torch.cuda.memory_allocated(0)/1024**3,1), 'GB')
 print('Cached: ', round(torch.cuda.memory_cached(0)/1024**3,1), 'GB')

# use this to test: Run code, dont close,
# go to OS and run nvidia-smi to see process runs on GPU
print (torch.rand(3,3).cuda())
os.system('nvidia-smi.exe>c:/temp/log.txt')
with open(r'c:/temp/log.txt', 'r') as f:
 print(f.read())

Resulting in:

GPU-Device: 0 GPU-Device-Info: <torch.cuda.device object at 0x000002B5B5DCD390> GPU-Device-Count: 1 GPU-Device-Name: Tesla M60 GPU-Device-Availability: True Using device: cuda  Tesla M60 Memory Usage: Allocated: 0.0 GB Cached:    0.0 GB tensor([[0.3166, 0.1292, 0.2083],         [0.2514, 0.0501, 0.4692],         [0.8568, 0.1868, 0.6476]], device='cuda:0')

Any thoughts?

Hi,

The error is coming from C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\learn\models\_arcgis_model.py

Here 'arcgispro-py3' is the default environment, you need to setup your environment to use this tool.

I am pasting the current installation commands From the documentation page here.

You need to first clone the default environment and activate the cloned environment, help page for the same is here.
You can then run the following command in python command prompt to install ArcGIS Python API with deep learning dependencies

   conda install -c esri -c fastai -c pytorch arcgis=1.8.2 scikit-image=0.15.0 pillow=6.2.2 libtiff=4.0.10 fastai=1.0.60 pytorch=1.4.0 torchvision=0.5.0 --no-pin

Thanks,
Sandeep
