Hello,

I am trying to use the SeViLA model with the BLIP-2 Flan-T5 configuration as part of the LAVIS library. I need to download the blip2_flant5xl.pth checkpoint from gs://sfr-vision-language-research/LAVIS/models/BLIP2/blip2_flant5xl.pth, but I receive a 403 AccessDeniedException when using gsutil cp with my account (17sixesrohigh@gmail.com):

I also tried downloading the file directly using wget, but it failed with a 403 Forbidden error, indicating that the bucket is not publicly accessible.

Could you please grant my account (17sixesrohigh@gmail.com) the necessary permissions (e.g., storage.objects.list and storage.objects.get) to access the sfr-vision-language-research bucket? Alternatively, if there’s a public URL or another method to download the checkpoint, I’d appreciate guidance.

I’m using google/flan-t5-large in my configuration, so if a blip2_flant5large checkpoint is available instead, that would also work.

Thank you for your help!
