What versions of spaCy suport en_vectors_web_lg?

I am trying to download en_vectors_web_lg, but keep getting the below error:

ERROR: Could not install requirement en-vectors-web-lg==3.0.0 from https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_vectors_web_lg-3.0.0/en_vectors_web_lg-3.0.0-py3-none-any.whl#egg=en_vectors_web_lg==3.0.0 because of HTTP error 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_vectors_web_lg-3.0.0/en_vectors_web_lg-3.0.0-py3-none-any.whl for URL https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_vectors_web_lg-3.0.0/en_vectors_web_lg-3.0.0-py3-none-any.whl#egg=en_vectors_web_lg==3.0.0

Is spacy still supporting en_vectors_web_lg?

I also just updated my spacy to the latest version

The naming conventions changed in v3 and the equivalent model is en_core_web_lg. It includes vectors and you can install it like this:

spacy download en_core_web_lg

I would not recommend downgrading to use the old vectors model unless you need to run old code.

If you are concerned about accuracy and have a decent GPU the transformers model, en_core_web_trf, is also worth considering, though it doesn't include word vectors.

It looks like en_vectors_web_lg is not supported by SpaCy v3.0. The SpaCy v3.0 installation guide offers en_core_web_trf instead, which is a Transformer-based pipeline.
