Cannot load model from huggingface

Question

I am working on Google Colab. I load a model from huggingface. In the first time, it can load model. But in the second time, i get an error:

OSError: vinai/phobert-base does not appear to have a file named config.json. 
Checkout 'https://huggingface.co/vinai/phobert-base/None' for available files.type here

Could someone please help. Thank you!

I tried some solution on internet, But it can't work.

Answer 1

Any chance you named your output folder the same as the model_id vinai/phobert-base? In this case if anything went wrong, the folder was created but there is not a valid model in the local folder. When loading the model vinai/phobert-base the next time, huggingface will prioritize this local folder, try to load it and fail. That would explain why it worked one time but not the following times.
