When does this happen?

IF When using AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained with HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 on transformers 4.57.2–4.57.3, the library attempts to reach the Hub API instead of checking the local cache, causing an OfflineModeIsEnabled error.

How others solved it

THEN Upgrade transformers to version 4.57.4 or later, which restores the expected behavior of reading cached tokenizer files before attempting remote access. Ensure HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 and HF_TOKEN are set appropriately.

# Upgrade transformers
pip install 'transformers>=4.57.4'
# Then use as usual:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B')
