How can an agent resolve this problem? [Transformers] "X is not a local folder and is not a valid model identifier listed on 'https://huggingface.co/models'" (typo, private repo, or relative path)
Cause (Documented platform behavior): RepositoryNotFoundError from the Hub (which is also returned for private repos without access) is converted to this OSError.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- If this is a private repository, make sure to pass a token having permission to this repo either by logging in with `hf auth login` or by passing `token=<your_token>`

Proposed fix: [Transformers] "X is not a local folder and is not a valid model identifier listed on 'https://huggingface.co/models'" (typo, private repo, or relative path)
Recommended action: Check the exact repo id on the Hub; for local models pass an absolute path to a directory containing config.json; for private repos run hf auth login or pass token=.
