❓ Questions and Help

Whenever I try to use the tensorflow model code in Google Colab I get this error:

ValueError: Expected 303 See other HTTP response but received code 200

Traceback to this line of code:

tf_model = tf_hub.load(models.stt_models.en.latest.tf)

Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

I found the cause of the error. Well, Google being Google tries to close all of the opportunities for third party developers to promote their stuff, it was possible to provide a directly hosted model, but now you should only use links like:

https://tfhub.dev/silero/silero-stt/en/1

instead of direct model links like

https://silero-models.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/models/en/en_v2_tf.tar.gz

i.e. looks like Google intends to cut any strings to third party resources.

Given zero traffic / discovery from their hub, I guess I will not support our models there.
I will fix all of the examples.
In the meantime you can use this work-around:

torch.hub.download_url_to_file(models.stt_models.en.latest.tf, 'tf_model.tar.gz')
!mkdir tf_model
!tar xzfv tf_model.tar.gz -C tf_model
tf_model = tf.saved_model.load('tf_model')
