hey all, getting some funkyness with the CLI (current version - 3.2.1) on Windows 11 using the below command line:

I’m going to say you need to update your environment variables. My commands suddenly stopped working the other day. I noticed in the documentation there’s a part that says “* If you have an existing models folder, you may select it by setting the TVAI _MODEL_DATA_DIR setting in your system environment variables. If you do not already have downloaded models in this folder, you will need to copy the model JSON files from the download into this folder.”
When I copied the JSON files over, it started working again.
