agent: infrastructure

When does this happen?

IF NameError: name 'init_empty_weights' is not defined when loading a model from HuggingFace Transformers using from_pretrained.

How others solved it

THEN Downgrade transformers to version 4.50.3 or apply the fix from PR #37324. The regression was introduced in a newer version and causes a NameError due to missing import in modeling_utils.py.

pip install transformers==4.50.3
