Issue with TikToken Dependency

[MosheAbG]

Hello,

Firstly, thank you for this great framework and library!

I installed your package and followed your notebook on using Ragas with Azure Open AI, but am running into an "Exception In Runner" error with a traceback to

requests.exceptions.httperror 503 server error service unavailable for url: https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/encodings/cl100k_base.tiktoken

I think that the error is caused by a security firewall on my side, but are there any parameters that can be set to avoid having to access the external page?

Thanks in advance!

Did you find solution for this? I'm also facing the same issue

I couldn't find a direct solution, but if you switch the embedding model to be an open source one, then it works fine.
