"Feature Extractor Examples" from ml5.js website / TypeError: Failed to fetch

p5.js version

1.9.1

What is your operating system?

Windows 11

Web browser and version

Chrome 123.0.6312.106

Actual Behavior

the FeatureExtractor Examples for the "p5 web editor" from the ml5.js website raise an error: TypeError: Failed to fetch.

Here are the Examples:
FeatureExtractor_Image_Regression
FeatureExtractor_Image_Classification

a couple of days ago, the examples worked perfecty fine.

This is the error in the console for me:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/mobilenet-v1/frameworks/tfJs/variations/025-224-classification/versions/1/model.json?tfjs-format=file&tfhub-redirect=true. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing). Status code: 302.

Looks like Kaggle recently made some API changes on April 8, so maybe it's related to that?

Besides the "Feature Extractor Examples", other sample codes are also affected: FaceMesh, Hand Pose, Image Classification, etc.

I see cross-origin error on these two p5js sketches.
They worked fine a few weeks ago.

Thanks, Daniel! Your work is highly appreciated.
Any chance to fix the problem anyway? I'm using ml5.js during ongoing lectures. Almost all examples are affected (e.g., feature extraction).

Was this perhaps a temporary issue yesterday? Everything seems to be working for me, I tested the ones above as well as these three examples from my videos.

Working for me ok today.

These sketches now run OK:
https://editor.p5js.org/ml5/sketches/Facemesh_Webcam
https://editor.p5js.org/ml5/sketches/Handpose_Webcam

[hedlerhdm]

all examples are now working again. Maybe a temporary problem with Kaggle.
Thanks anyway

Hey there! I can confirm this was a TensorFlow issue. I had raised this issue on their Github and they rolled out a fix. . They also provided some recommendations for how to avoid this in the future. See link attached.
