Hi, I just ran this code:  
""from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForQuestionAnswering

modelname = ‘deepset/bert-base-cased-squad2’

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from\_pretrained(modelname)  
model = BertForQuestionAnswering.from\_pretrained(modelname)""

but I got an error like this:  
""OSError: Can’t load weights for ‘deepset/bert-base-cased-squad2’. Make sure that:

- ‘deepset/bert-base-cased-squad2’ is a correct model identifier listed on ‘[Models - Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models)’

- or ‘deepset/bert-base-cased-squad2’ is the correct path to a directory containing a file named one of pytorch\_model.bin, tf\_model.h5, model.ckpt.""

I have ensured that those bert-base-cased-squad2 is available, but it still got an error.

Any one know the solution for this problem? Thanks

Hey, I ran this code in Colab and works perfectly fine for me. Can you please try the below code again?

```auto
from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertForQuestionAnswering

modelname = "deepset/bert-base-cased-squad2"

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained(modelname)
model = BertForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained(modelname)

```
