Webpack error: "Module parse failed: Unexpected character '�' (1:0)" when using @xenova/transformers

I'm trying to run a sentiment analysis function using the @xenova/transformers package in a NextJS project with Webpack, but I'm encountering the following error:

Module parse failed: Unexpected character '�' (1:0) You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders (Source code omitted for this binary file)

and this is my code

    import { pipeline } from "@xenova/transformers";

export const sentimentAnalysis = async () => {
  // Load the sentiment-analysis pipeline
  const pipe = await pipeline("sentiment-analysis");

  // Run the model
  const out = await pipe("I love transformers!");
  console.log(out);
  return out;
};

I'm using Webpack for bundling, and it seems to choke on binary files (probably model files) that @xenova/transformers tries to load. I haven't added any custom loaders for .bin, .onnx, or similar file types.

What loader or configuration do I need in my Webpack setup to support @xenova/transformers? Is there a recommended way to run this package with Webpack (or is it better suited for non-bundled environments like pure Node.js or browser)?
