Encountered the exact same error. Weirdly enough, it was working earlier in different device

The issue is that the NeMo library has not been maintained for the past 9 months while there have been major changes in the hugginface-hub repo, so you have to downgrade the package version which can lead to version conflict with other packages (transformers, datasets), I tried my best to find set of versions which would work, you can check out here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1umnew1cip7XnQkVJ3Edt1QtZB1ZRaaVK?authuser=1#scrollTo=0t9XnTTkjq5l&line=1&uniqifier=1

fix:

!pip install transformers==4.40.0
!pip install huggingface_hub==0.21.3
!pip install tokenizers>=0.21
!pip install datasets==2.19.0

@AK3847 Thanks.
