Predictor.from_path('coref-spanbert-large-2021.03.10.tar.gz') downloads model into cache though I provide a local copy of the model

I am trying to load a local copy of the coref-spanbert model using Predictor.from_path but it starts downloading the model again into cache/huggingface. How do I fix this.

>>> from allennlp.predictors import Predictor
>>> coref_model = Predictor.from_path('coref-spanbert-large-2021.03.10.tar.gz')

Hey @irshadbhat, there are a couple other threads on this:

• loading user-defined model needs to initialize twice (the pretrained model part) #5436
• Add way of skipping pretrained weights download #5172
