This morning I run my code and find out that it’s missing sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model, and then I go to Models list on HuggingFace to check.

All of their models are gone! What’s happening? Anyone can explain this?

Sorry for the disruption, we’re working to restore all the models.

Thanks a lot.

FYI, I use [Jerado/all-MiniLM-L6-v2-finetuned at main](https://huggingface.co/Jerado/all-MiniLM-L6-v2-finetuned/tree/main) as a temporary replacement.

I’m also seeing intermittent 404’s, even though these models are cached locally. Some requests work, some don’t.
