Workarounds

  1. 90% success Re-download: delete cache and use from_pretrained with force_download=True
  2. 88% success Check all shards present: model-00001-of-00003.safetensors etc.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Download only first shard 88% fail

    Incomplete model, missing weights

  2. Merge shards manually with cat 85% fail
