Dear All Developers,

I have reported an issue about the HuggingFace package on 683992.

In the beginning, I thought the problem is from HuggingFace. However, I found out it seems results from TensorFlow-Hub after some further tests.

Here is the thing, I made a fine-tuning BERT model with TF and TF-Hub only. And I got the same error as before.

Here is the detail about the error.

InvalidArgumentError: Cannot assign a device for operation AdamWeightDecay/AdamWeightDecay/update/Unique: Could not satisfy explicit device specification '/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0' because no supported kernel for GPU devices is available.
Colocation Debug Info:
Colocation group had the following types and supported devices: 
Root Member(assigned_device_name_index_=2 requested_device_name_='/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0' assigned_device_name_='/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0' resource_device_name_='/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:GPU:0' supported_device_types_=[CPU] possible_devices_=[]

ReadVariableOp: GPU CPU 
NoOp: GPU CPU 
Mul: GPU CPU 
Shape: GPU CPU 
Identity: GPU CPU 
StridedSlice: GPU CPU 
_Arg: GPU CPU 
Const: GPU CPU

So, obviously, there is something wrong with the TF part and I don't think there is a quick solution.

As transformers and related models are so powerful in the NLP area, it is a great shame that if we cannot solving NLP tasks with GPU accelerating.

I will raise this issue on Feedback Assistant App too, and please comment here if you would also like Apple to solve this issue.

Sincerely,

hawkiyc

Hi hawkiyc!

Thank you so much for reporting this issue. Team is aware of it, reproduced it and working on a fix. There is no known workaround at this time. The fix will be provided in the upcoming seeds.

Please file FB assistant ticket and put its number there, so we could update you on a progress.

Have a great day!

I have been experiencing a similar issue while training a GAN.

tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.InvalidArgumentError: Cannot assign a device for operation loader/GeneratorDataset: Could not satisfy explicit device specification '/device:GPU:0' because no supported kernel for GPU devices is available.

Any news about when and how the issue would be solved?

Is there any update on this? Any ETA?

I am seeing this error when training the tensorflowtts model on mac m1 chip.

Same when trying to fine-tune the universal sentence encoder (tfhub). CPU training works, slowly though. To be able to train just add: tf.config.set_visible_devices([], 'GPU') to hide the GPUs. Any updates on this?
