CI tests are dependent on connectivity/uptime of huggingface

[Coenraad Loubser]

Possible to modify it to use cached files? Or to use git-lfs and keep file pointers here? (and ensure consistency of files and tests) Or to pause the test until dependent connections are restored? Or reschedule tests for later? How do people normally deal with external dependencies breaking tests?

CI still depends on pip of course. But I haven't seen that fail in a long time 😅

Edit: 🤦 lol and GPT2.. so git lfs?

Edit: Oh wait, git lfs will just pull from HF by default, won't it... ? I'm learning fast here. 💟

Maybe later... for now the repo is still <2M... so this increases size more than 30% 😅
