I use latest version of transformers 4.57.1: Successfully installed tokenizers-0.22.1 transformers-4.57.1. I’m using Kaggle for my project
When I try fine tune any model I get message like this:
```auto
Entry Not Found for url: https://huggingface.co/api/models/meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct/tree/main/additional_chat_templates?recursive=false&expand=false.
additional_chat_templates does not exist on "main"
```
Error message is triggerey by `tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)`
I found the same issue here but it says to update to latest version.

To bypass [errors when URLs are not found](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/41813), you maybe need the latest version of Hugging Face Hub in addition to the latest Transformers. Kaggle might be using an older version of Hugging Face Hub.
`pip install -U "transformers>=4.57.1" "huggingface_hub>=1.01"`

I got the same problem. Have you found the solution?

Upgrading the library version or pinning to an older, bug-free version can resolve the issue. However, if upgrading the library is difficult in your environment, one of following methods may also work.
```py
# Option 1 (env var)
export HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1
# Option 2 (code) – only uses cached files
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo, local_files_only=True)
# docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/installation#offline-mode
```
