Summary
HF_HUB_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT=600for longer timeoutapi-onlyandstandalonestagesProblem
Docker builds occasionally fail with transient network errors when downloading ML models from HuggingFace during the image build. This is especially common in CI environments or when HuggingFace CDN has temporary issues.
Solution
Wrap the model download in a retry loop with exponential backoff. After 3 failed attempts, the build fails with a clear error message.
