Bug Report

When starting the backend with ./start.sh there seems to be a problem with the BertTokenizerFast causing a segfault:

Description

Bug Summary:
[Provide a brief but clear summary of the bug]

Steps to Reproduce:
pip install -r requirements.txt
./start.sh

Expected Behavior:
Backend starts up and listens to a port

Actual Behavior:
Backend gives segmentation fault:

OSError: Can't load tokenizer for '/Users/wschrep/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--sentence-transformers--all-MiniLM-L6-v2/snapshots/8b3219a92973c328a8e22fadcfa821b5dc75636a'. If you were trying to load it from 'https://huggingface.co/models', make sure you don't have a local directory with the same name. Otherwise, make sure '/Users/wschrep/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--sentence-transformers--all-MiniLM-L6-v2/snapshots/8b3219a92973c328a8e22fadcfa821b5dc75636a' is the correct path to a directory containing all relevant files for a BertTokenizerFast tokenizer.
[1]    33382 segmentation fault  ./start.sh

Environment

  • **Open WebUI Version: current version git

  • **Ollama (if applicable): 0.1.44

  • **Operating System: Mac OS Sonoma

Reproduction Details

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
