This has already been fixed in main — commit 85f2e3b updated config_loader.py line 83 to use encoding="utf-8-sig" which automatically strips the BOM.

The fix will be available once a new release is cut. In the meantime you can install from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/volcengine/OpenViking.git
