 ## Inference example(After Stage3)
 We support naive inference demo after training.
 ```shell
-# inference
-python inference.py --pretrain <your actor model path> --model <your model type>
+# inference, using pretrain path to configure model
+python inference.py --model_path <your actor model path> --model <your model type> --pretrain <your pretrain model name/path>
