[Python] OSError: Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct does not appear to have files named...

I'm trying to use the Qwen2.5-VL-7B model for my project, and I've downloaded a local file named model-00002-of-00005.safetensors. However, when I run my code, I encounter the following error:

OSError: Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct does not appear to have files named model-00002-of-00005.safetensors


Here's what I've done so far:

• I verified that the file model-00002-of-00005.safetensors is located in the expected directory.
• I checked that the file permissions allow read access.
• I ensured that I am using the correct path to load the model.

Despite these steps, the error persists.

Questions:

• Why is the model unable to recognize the local .safetensors file?
• Is there something specific I might be missing regarding the model loading process?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
