'It looks like the config file at 'bert-base-uncased' is not a valid JSON file?

Working fine for months, then I interrupted a "bert-large-cased" download and the following code returns the error in the title:

from transformers import BertModel
BertModel.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')

I've tried:

  1. deleting .cache/transformers/...
  2. pip uninstall/reinstall transformers
  3. conda remove/install transformers
  4. completely reinstalling anaconda and my environment from scratch


Solution 1:[1]

You need to write AutoModel.from_pretrained('bert-base-cased').
