Error loading model whisper-base

[suamai]

While trying to run the models server I run into the following error:

raise ValueError(f"Could not load model {model} with any of the following classes: {class_tuple}.")
ValueError: Could not load model models/openai/whisper-base with any of the following classes: (<class 'transformers.models.auto.modeling_auto.AutoModelForCTC'>, <class 'transformers.models.auto.modeling_auto.AutoModelForSpeechSeq2Seq'>, <class 'transformers.models.whisper.modeling_whisper.WhisperForConditionalGeneration'>).

I tried redoing all the installation steps, removing and recreating the conda env, and making sure all python dependencies are installed and both api tokens configured. What could be going wrong?

Did you have git lfs installed prior to downloading the models?
