Accelerate version errors in Trainer
I installed the accelerated version to 0.28.0 (by ‘pip install accelerate -U’) but the same error repeats. The accelerate version seems to change midway through, is there a workaround?I’m using a Jupyter-Lab running in a virtualized environment with Python version 3.11.This is my Trainer code.!pip install transformers[torch]
!pip install accelerate -U

BBIBIBBIBI:The accelerate version seems to change midway through, is there a workaround?If so, you need to restart your session so the new libraries can be loaded in
2024-04-09T17:49:00Z
Thank you, but if I proceed with the acceleration library installation code at the top of the file and rerun the code, I get the same problem. I’ve restarted the session several times, changed the environment (Colab, Jupyter, Conda) several times too…
2024-04-15T13:06:46Z
Hi@BBIBIBBIBI, could you share a minimum reproducer with colab by callingis_accelerate_availablesince this seems to fail here.
2024-04-15T13:24:59Z
Thanks for your reply. I don’t know what caused this issue, but it’s fixed! I rebooted a few days later without any other solution and it worked… Maybe there was an update.
