Hi @hemilparmar Thanks for using tensorflow hub, I could reproduce the issue, It is due to the way pkg_resources being called in the source code is no longer supported in latest version, please use pip install "setuptools<81.0.0" for pinning setup tools version, I could successfully run the code snippet you provided. Thank you
