### Who can help
@LysandreJik It is to do with 'bert-base-uncased'

## Information
Hi, I m having this error suddenly this afternoon. It was all okay before for days. It happens in local machine, Colab and also to my colleagues. I can access this file in browser https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased/resolve/main/config.json no problem. Btw, I m from Singapore. Any urgent help will be appreciated because I m rushing some project and stuck there.

Thanks

Was it just a fluke or is the issue still happening? On Colab I have no problem downloading that model.<|||||>@sgugger Hi it is still happening now. Not just me, many people I know of. I can access the config file from browser, but not through the code. Thanks<|||||>Still not okay online, but I managed to do it locally

git clone https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased

#model = AutoModelWithHeads.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
model = AutoModelWithHeads.from_pretrained(BERT_LOCAL_PATH, local_files_only=True)

#tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")

adapter_name = model2.load_adapter(localpath, config=config, model_name=BERT_LOCAL_PATH)<|||||>This, like #12940, is probably related to a change we've made on the infra side (cc @n1t0), which we'll partially revert. Please let us know if this still occurs.<|||||>@WinMinTun Could you share a small collab that reproduces the bug? I'd like to have a look at it.<|||||>With additional testing, I've found that this issue only occurs with adapter-tranformers, the AdapterHub.ml modified version of the transformers module. With the HuggingFace module, we can pull pretrained weights without issue.

Using adapter-transformers this is now working again from Google Colab, but is still failing locally and from servers running in AWS. Interestingly, with adapter-transformers I get a 403 even if I try to load a nonexistent model (e.g. fake-model-that-should-fail). I would expect this to fail with a 401, as there is no corresponding config.json on huggingface.co. The fact that it fails with a 403 seems to indicate that something in front of the web host is rejecting the request before the web host has a change to respond with a not found error.<|||||>Thanks so much @jason-weddington. This will help us pinpoint the issue. (@n1t0 @Pierrci)<|||||>I have the same problem, but it only happens when the model is private.

<|||||>Your token for `use_auth_token` is not the same as your API token. The easiest way to get it is to login with `!huggingface-cli login` and then just pass `use_auth_token=True`.<|||||>I think the problem is something else:

![Screenshot 2021-08-11 at 14 34 44](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/53347273/129029925-a5c4c43d-2f1d-442b-8da0-09d19d2d58a4.png)
<|||||>Yes, I have come across this as well. I have tracked it down to this line

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/143738214cb83e471f3a43652617c8881370342c/src/transformers/pipelines/__init__.py#L422

It's because the `use_auth_token` has not been set up early enough in the model_kwargs. The line referenced above needs to be moved above instantiate config section. 

<|||||>I've added a pull request to which I think will fix this issue. You can get round it for now by adding `use_auth_token` to the model_kwargs param when creating a pipeline e.g.:
`pipeline('zero-shot-classification', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, model_kwargs={'use_auth_token': True})`<|||||>Still getting the same error 
Here is my code : 
```
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("hemangjoshi37a/autotrain-ratnakar_600_sample_test-1427753567", use_auth_token=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("hemangjoshi37a/autotrain-ratnakar_600_sample_test-1427753567", use_auth_token=True)
inputs = tokenizer("I love AutoTrain", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
```

I have transformers version : `4.21.3`

 resolve this issue ?<|||||>Hello, I had the same problem when using transformers - pipeline in the aws-sagemaker notebook.

I started to think it was the version or the network problem. But, after some local tests,  this guess is wrong. So,  I just debug the source code.  I find that:

This will raise any error as EnviromentError. So, from experience, I solve it, by running this pip:
!pip install --upgrade jupyter
!pip install --upgrade ipywidgets

You guys can try it when meeting the problem in aws-notebook or colab!<|||||>![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/117170100/217241740-9d66735a-3bf9-40b4-be96-f9d83e908035.png)


I am unable to solve this issues Since Morning .. i had been trying to Solve it ... 

Im working on my Final Year Project .. can someone pls help me in it ...<|||||>Just ask chatGPT LOL...😂😂<|||||>I dont understand it ?? What do u mean ..
The Hugging Face Website is also not working ...<|||||>@VRDJ  goto this website [chatGPT](chat.openai.com) and enter your error in the chatbox in this website and for the 99% you will get your solution there.<|||||>> Still not okay online, but I managed to do it locally

-------------------

Hello! Thanks for your sharing. I wonder in 
'tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(BERT_LOCAL_PATH, local_files_only=True)', 
which file does 'BERT_LOCAL_PATH' refer to specifically? Is it the path for the directory 'bert-base-uncased', or the 'pytorch_model.bin', or something else?
