Reproduction

from transformers import pipeline
pipeline("image-to-text")

OSError: ydshieh/vit-gpt2-coco-en does not appear to have a file named model.safetensors or model.safetensors.index.json and thus cannot be loaded with `safetensors`. Please make sure that the model has been saved with `safe_serialization=True` or do not set `use_safetensors=True`.

Expected behavior

Pipeline loads
