Error during llm node initialization for models_path

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I have prepared a text-generation model using the file demos/common/export_models/export_model.py. The config file is:

{
    "mediapipe_config_list": [
        {
            "name": "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct",
            "base_path": "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct"
        }
    ],
    "model_config_list": []
}

When I run the inference server using the docker container:

sudo docker run \
        --rm  -d \
        -p 8085:8085  \
        -v $MODEL_DIR:/workspace:ro  \
        openvino/model_server:2024.5  \
        --rest_port 8085  \
        --rest_bind_address 0.0.0.0 \
        --config_path /workspace/config.json

The server starts but i also get an error:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the command:

   python export_model.py \
       text_generation \
       --source_model meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct \
       --weight-format fp32 \
       --config_file_path $CONFIG_FILE_PATH \
       --model_repository_path $MODEL_DIR \
       --kv_cache_precision u8 \
       --overwrite_models
   

2. Run the docker image:

   sudo docker run \
       --rm  -d \
       -p 8085:8085  \
       -v $MODEL_DIR:/workspace:ro  \
       openvino/model_server:2024.5  \
       --rest_port 8085  \
       --rest_bind_address 0.0.0.0 \
       --config_path /workspace/config.json
       --log_level DEBUG
   

Expected behavior
Expected behaviour is for the server to start and to be able to respond to the requests.

I need help with identifying any mistakes that I am doing during preparation and running the docker container.

Start with demos/common/export_models/export_model.py, the supplied config.json, and the Docker command to reproduce the model initialization. Inspect the startup log around models_path and determine the expected initialization behavior; the issue is done when the reported error is fixed or its expected behavior and configuration requirements are clearly established.
