The following urlib request to download weights for the Inception V3 from Google APIs seems to be outdated:

weights_url = "https://storage.googleapis.com/mledu-datasets/inception_v3_weights_tf_dim_ordering_tf_kernels_notop.h5"

weights_file = "inception_v3.h5"

urllib.request.urlretrieve(weights_url, weights_file)

I get the error message:

HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Can someone please provide an alternative url or fix the permission issue?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, and thank you for reporting! It looks like that GCP bucket containing the model is mistakenly put into private mode. Please re-open the lab from the classroom to see the new public link. Thanks again!
