Hi:

I would very much like to install gte-base-en-v1.5 to a local machine (which does not have internet connection outside the firewall). I was able to download all the files to another machine (which has internet connection), and copied the files to the firewalled machine.

I then executed the following lines of code (just to load the model):

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer, util
transf = '/home/llm/gte_base_en_1.5_saved'
sentence_encoder = SentenceTransformer(transf, local_files_only=True, trust_remote_code=True)  # does not work
print(f'max_seq_length = {sentence_encoder.max_seq_length}')

I got the following error message:

Could not locate the configuration.py inside Alibaba-NLP/new-impl.
Traceback (most recent call last):

huggingface_hub.utils._errors.LocalEntryNotFoundError: Cannot find the requested files in the disk cache and outgoing traffic has been disabled. To enable hf.co look-ups and downloads online, set 'local_files_only' to False.

Could you point me to the right direction to solve the above issue? Where is the Alibaba-NLP/new-impl directory (or where should it be) on the firewalled machine?

Thanks very much!
Alex.
