'str' object has no attribute 'decode' load_weights

The error message is indicating that you are trying to use the `decode` method on a string object, which is not a valid operation.

The `decode` method is used to convert a byte string (bytes object) to a string object.

If you are trying to load weights from a file, you can use the `load_weights` method provided by the framework or library you are using.

For example, if you are using TensorFlow, you can use the `tf.keras.models.load_model` method to load a saved model and its weights.

Here's an example:

import tensorflow as tf

# Load the saved model
model = tf.keras.models.load_model('my_model.h5')

# Load the weights from a file
model.load_weights('my_weights.h5')

Make sure that the file path is correct and the file exists in the directory.
