wandb: Find logs at: ./wandb/offline-run-20220324_174257-k8vydnze/logsI tried addingtruncation=Trueand got the same thing. I was also originally following the documentationherefor dynamic padding using theDataCollatorForLanguageModelingand get the same error.Any thoughts about what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance! I’d be interested in using dynamic padding if possible.

Any thoughts?

I’m experiencing the same thingPlease, let me know if you’ve solved it
