Load Saved CatBoost Model (.cbm) from Google Cloud Storage

I am trying to create a script which loads a saved CatBoost model from a Cloud Storage bucket, and uses it to make predictions. However, I am unable to successfully load the file. CatBoost throws an error that the model file does not exist, though I've copied the path directly from the UI.

#Specify model path  path = 'gs://bucket_id/model-name'    # Load model  from_file = CatBoostClassifier()  from_file.load_model(path)    model.predict(X_eval)
