Internet connection required, even though models are downloaded?

I was hoping to run this offline, but it attempts to connect to huggingface to read a JSON.

Loading TTS model 1.7B on cuda...
'(MaxRetryError('HTTPSConnectionPool(host=\'huggingface.co\', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base/resolve/main/config.json (Caused by NameResolutionError("HTTPSConnection(host=\'huggingface.co\', port=443): Failed to resolve \'huggingface.co\' ([Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed)"))'), '(Request ID: 1dac43eb-8a09-4e05-94d9-8ce26362afc7)')' thrown while requesting HEAD https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base/resolve/main/config.json
Retrying in 1s [Retry 1/5].

It won't generate without this. Is there any way to run entirely offline?

I found the same, it doesn't work with internet disconnected.
