When does this happen?

IF When loading PyTorch model weights with transformers >= 4.42.0 using torch<2.6, a ValueError is raised due to a security vulnerability in torch.load.

How others solved it

THEN Convert your model checkpoint files from PyTorch .bin format to safetensors format. Load the checkpoint with an older transformers version (e.g., 4.41.0) and resave using `model.save_pretrained(save_directory, safe_serialization=True)`, or use a machine with torch>=2.6 (e.g., Google Colab) to perform the conversion. Safetensors do not have the security risk and are the default recommended format.

# Load with older transformers, then resave as safetensors
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('path/to/bin/checkpoint')
model.save_pretrained('new/path', safe_serialization=True)
