Error with gpt-2 model

[Maxime_tut]

Hi everyone,
I get an error when I try to deploy an app with the model GPT-2, a NLP model download from Hugging Face. I am not sure of the reason. I guess that we can’t download the model when it is on the cloud ?
Here the message :

Hi @Maxime_tut,

It was likely a network error connecting to the HuggingFace servers. Could you try re-deploying your app? I was able to successfully deploy a fork of your repo:

Best,

Oh yes you’re right, it worked now. Thanks a lot
