OSError: Unable to open file (truncated file: eof = 63504384, sblock->base_addr = 0, stored_eof = 374434776)

I was constantly getting the following error:

After a while I was able to solve it by removing the cached weight file from

/home/gerdos/.cache/bio_embeddings/seqvec/weights_file

This solve the error, so if you are having the same issue do:

rm $HOME/.cache/bio_embeddings/seqvec/weights_file
