Hi! I am playing with an [App](https://huggingface.co/spaces/alkzar90/croupier-creature-app) that loads a model from the Hugging Face hub, but I find problems when I add some image examples to the app during the building. I tried uploading the images to the repository and downloading them from another place, but the error continued. Is there some behaviour to process image example when using Gradio in [API mode](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/wiki/How-data-gets-processed-in-a-Gradio-Interface) that can trigger the error?

Hi @alkzar90, Can you please try with cache\_examples=False? I think this is the same problem as this issue ([https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/1643](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/1643)). Good news is that I’m planning on fixing the underlying issue by the end of the week! ---

Also, you can store the example images in the repo with git as opposed to pulling them in the app file. ---

Hi @freddyaboulton, it works with `cache_examples=False`, thanks for the suggestion! Now I will move the images into the repo instead of downloading them from the app file, it was. a desperate move trying to fix the problem hahaha, Best!
