Cause (Documented platform behavior): transformers refuses to execute repo code unless trust_remote_code=True; wrappers must forward it through to SentenceTransformer.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Executes third-party code locally; pin revision for safety.
Other error fragments:
- set the option `trust_remote_code=True`
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/27142 (github_issue, 2024-10-06, documented_workaround): HuggingFaceEmbeddings with dunzhang/stella_en_400M_v5 raised the trust_remote_code error; passing model_kwargs={'device':'cuda','trust_remote_code': True} is the proposed solution; closed as not planned.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Embedding model load fails before any encoding.
- Context
- Product: sentence-transformers / LangChain HuggingFaceEmbeddings Component: SentenceTransformer model loading with remote code Operation: HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name='dunzhang/stella_en_400M_v5') or SentenceTransformer('nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1') Affected versions: unknown Environment: Python 3.12.7 (reported) Exception: ValueError Packages: sentence-transformers 3.1.1 reported, langchain-community 0.3.1 reported Trigger: Model repo ships custom modeling/config code (stella, nomic-embed, jina v2) and trust_remote_code is not passed.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [sentence-transformers via LangChain HuggingFaceEmbeddings] 'requires you to execute the configuration file in that repo ... set the option trust_remote_code=True' for custom-code embedd
Recommended action: After reviewing the repo code, pass model_kwargs={'trust_remote_code': True} to HuggingFaceEmbeddings (or trust_remote_code=True to SentenceTransformer); pin a revision.
Option: Forward trust_remote_code via model_kwargs [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Custom-code embedding models
Steps:
1. HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name=..., model_kwargs={'trust_remote_code': True})
2. Optionally pin model revision
Expected: Model loads.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
