Week 1 lab - ReadTimeoutError only for model (not datasets)

Course Q&A Generative AI with Large Language Models
,
1

I am able to load the datasets and print the human generated summaries but the model (FLAN-T5) fails to load with ReadTimeoutError. Specifically the cell that includes these lines:

model_name=‘google/flan-t5-base’
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

In the FAQ there was a mention of huggingface servers issues but then I’d expect the dataset to also not load. So that can’t be it.

Would appreciate your help!

Facing the same issue here. Thank you for bringing this up. Not sure where I had to bring up this issue.

Same issue, Timeout when build_dataset after loading FLAN-T5 Model Fine-Tuned with Summarization Instruction

Same issue
Just to experiment tried smaller model “google/flan-t5-small”, but problem also the same

Same issue for Lab 2 when try to use the original model. Hope can get solutions.

I am also seeing the same issue.

model_name='google/flan-t5-base'

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

would voting up be a good option? so the poster can tell if others are having similar issues? or should we look at whether people are watching the topic?

Hello Chris, my deadline is tomorrow (I was about to conclude the course Today).

Could you please extend the deadline, so I can finish the course as expected (when you fix it) and get my certificate?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Afonso. Please contact Coursera (instructions here) to know if an extension is possible for your account. You can mention that there is a bug in the course and the dev team is still working on it. You can let me know the response you got. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble!
