No sentence-transformers model found with name sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2.

During the execution of my code:
model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
definition_embeddings = model.encode(DSE_infos)

I encountered the following error, and the same issue occurred with multiple models:
No sentence-transformers model found with name sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2. Creating a new one with MEAN pooling.

Hello!

It seems like https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 was not accessible for you. Could you try to:

1. Rerun your code? Perhaps Hugging Face was down for a minute. I can access HF now, so that might just resolve it already.
2. Verify whether you can access https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/blob/main/config.json. Can you browse to this URL without issues?
3. Could you try and wget https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2/raw/main/config.json to download this file?

If you have issues with all of those, then perhaps you're behind some firewall that prevents access to Hugging Face? Please let me know what happens when you try the above.
