You might want to wait for the proper upstream fix but you can get going by manually loading safetensors from the tarball.

1. Get the 0.4.5 tarball from here: https://pypi.org/project/safetensors/#files
2. Decompress and edit the contained pyproject.toml by adding a version under [project] e.g.

[project]
name = 'safetensors'
version = '0.4.5

3. Recompress to a tar.gz (making sure the toml is in the root)
   4) run pip install path/toyour/tar.gz

You might need to manually add missing deps one by one but safetensors will install.
