When I use Flower’s tutorial “Get started with Flower” to test Step 2: Federated Learning with Flower, although I can obtain results, an error message appears in every round stating: (ClientAppActor pid=29520) HTTP Error 429 thrown while requesting HEAD https://huggingface.co/datasets/cifar10/resolve/0b2714987fa478483af9968de7c934580d0bb9a2/.huggingface.yaml [repeated 4x across cluster].
Update: I created an account with HuggingFace and logged in via the huggingface_cli tool (you’ll need to generate an access token on the HF website during this process). Once done this seems to have resolved the issue of the HTTP 429 error. I suspect HF by default perform rate-limiting for unauthenticated accesses to avoid denial of service issues.
Do you want to also give this a shot and see @gogll ?
