I am getting this OS error every time I try to download the databricks/dolly-v2-3b model, even though I could download it last week, and nothing changed in my environment at all. I keep getting the same recommendations about upgrading or downgrading transformers, requests, huggingface\_hub. Here’s my code.

```auto
#imports
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoModelWithLMHead
import re
import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_colwidth', None)
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', None) 
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
import os
os.environ['CURL_CA_BUNDLE'] = ''

#load model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("databricks/dolly-v2-3b", padding_side='left')
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("databricks/dolly-v2-3b")

```

and here is the trace to the error

```auto
