Changes from huggingface/transformers#34966
caused the `nv-torch-latest-v100` tests to fail with the following
error:

OSError: Can't load the model for 'hf-internal-testing/tiny-random-VisionEncoderDecoderModel-vit-gpt2'. If you were trying to load it from 'https://huggingface.co/models', make sure you don't have a local directory with the same name. Otherwise, make sure 'hf-internal-testing/tiny-random-VisionEncoderDecoderModel-vit-gpt2' is the correct path to a directory containing a file named pytorch_model.bin, tf_model.h5, model.ckpt or flax_model.msgpack.
