My EXAONE deployment fails to load after a Transformers upgrade.

Last updated: July 31, 2026

EXAONE models need a configuration_exaone.py file to load. The official repositories already include it (for example LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-3.5-2.4B-Instruct). Deploy from the official repo, or add that file to your private repo, then restart the endpoint or create a new one.

More generally: forks and custom repos sometimes drop files or config fields present in the original model repository, which causes load failures. If you're deploying from a fork, confirm all required files and fields carried over.
