SSLError when trying to download the model

[lykim200]

When I execute model = GPT4All("Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.Q4_0.gguf") as instructed in the README, I get the following error

urllib3.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\lqk4061\master\Project\ATR\Code\venv\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 667, in send

    retries = retries.increment(

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Is there an alternative method to get the following README example working in python?

from gpt4all import GPT4All
model = GPT4All("Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.Q4_0.gguf") # downloads / loads a 4.66GB LLM
with model.chat_session():
    print(model.generate("How can I run LLMs efficiently on my laptop?", max_tokens=1024))

i am also receiving the following SSL error when executing the above snippet.

ps: the proxy is correctly set as i can perform a get request to www.google.com via the following snipet

import requests

response = requests.get('https://www.google.com')
print(response.status_code)
