E0006 — Base64DecodeError

​

What happened

​

Why

• Truncated file transfer
• Text encoding conversion (e.g. Windows line endings inserted by a text editor)
• Git LFS or S3 metadata corruption

​

How to fix

1. Recompile the model: thx.compile(model, "model.thx").
2. If the artifact was downloaded, download it again and verify the checksum.
3. Never open .thx files in a text editor — they contain binary data encoded as base64, and text editors can corrupt it.

​

Example

E0006: base64 decode error in layer 0 (weights): invalid base64 character at byte 42
Why: the artifact's weight data is corrupt or was truncated.
Fix: recompile the model from scratch with `thx.compile()`.
