Hi everyone
I have this line of code and it was running perfectly until yesterday

sentence_model = SentenceTransformer("distilbert-base-nli-mean-tokens")

Now when I tried to run it the following error raised ..

RepositoryNotFoundError: 401 Client Error. (Request ID: Root=1-645a0801-003551080903725b044045e8)

This is a known issue with HuggingFace at the moment. You can find more information about that here. I would advise waiting until HuggingFace has restored those models. You could also see if you have any of the models cached and load them locally but I am quite sure HuggingFace is working hard on a fix seeing the large dependencies of OSS on sentence-transformers.

Oh thanks
Then, we will be waiting and praying for them to fix it soon..

It seems that the models are online again, so the issue should be resolved!
