Kernel crashes while loading pre-trained BLIP-2 model

• Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

I tried to run the BLIP-2 model for Image Captioning from this blog https://huggingface.co/blog/blip-2. All cells above it work fine, but as soon as this cell runs for about a minute kernel dies.
model = Blip2ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Salesforce/blip2-opt-2.7b", torch_dtype=torch.float16)

I-m very sorry for not getting back to you on this.
Are you still running into this issue?

It got resolved there was some file access error on my side, after that it works fine.
