you can see them here: https://huggingface.co/briaai/RMBG-2.0/tree/main

a connection issue between you and huggingface i assume. maybe temporary congestion or something blocking - vpn, proxy, geolocation etc.

might be an old fashioned install fail as well. failing to install the transformers package.
best bet is to delete and reinstall. and watch the install spam for any connection problems.

Thanks for your reply!
I have upgraded to the latest version of pinokio and set up a global proxy,
but it still doesn't work.
An error occurred when downloading the pytorch_model.bin.
I have downloaded this file separately, but I don't know which directory I should put it in.

hmm it's a HF snapshot download, i.e. the 864MB model file looks like this in the file system:

..pinokio\api\RMBG-2-Studio3.git\cache\HF_HOME\hub\models--briaai--RMBG-2.0\blobs\566ed80c3d95f87ada6864d4cbe2290a1c5eb1c7bb0b123e984f60f76b02c3a7"

i actually have no idea how to easily insert a self downloaded model into that.
Claude or ChatGPT should be able to easily assist if you drag the app.py file into the chat and explain the problem.

the other thing to check will be why your system is blocking pinokio from downloading the file. Could be as simple as a firewall or similar security being upset that a 3rd party app is downloading from Huggingface.
