THEN Modify the validate_environment method in HuggingFaceEndpoint to skip the login call when huggingfacehub_api_token is None or empty. Alternatively, use the workaround provided in the issue: subclass HuggingFaceEndpoint and override validate_environment to only check for package installation, skipping API token validation entirely.
