No such file or directory: 'GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin'

I have this code :

import gensim
filename = 'GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin'
model = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format(filename, binary=True)

and this is my folder organization thing : image of my folder tree that shows that the .bin file is in the same directory as the file calling it, the file being ai_functions

But sadly I'm not sure why I'm having an error saying that it can't find it. Btw I checked, I am sure the file is not corrupted. Any thoughts?

Full traceback :

The 'current working directory' that the Python process will consider active, and thus will use as the expected location for your plain relative filename GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin, will depend on how you launched Flask.

You could print out the directory to be sure – see some ways at How do you properly determine the current script directory? – but I suspect it may just be the /Users/Ile-Maurice/Desktop/Flask/flaskapp/ directory.

If so, you could relatively-reference your file with the path relative to the above directory...

serv/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin

...or you could use a full 'absolute' path...

/Users/Ile-Maurice/Desktop/Flask/flaskapp/serv/GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin

...or you could move the file up to its parent directory, so that it is alonside your Flask run.py.
