When does this happen?

IF When using DistributedDataParallel (DDP) with a Hugging Face Transformers model, calling model.generate() raises AttributeError because DDP wraps the model and removes generation methods.

How others solved it

THEN Access the unwrapped model via model.module.generate() or use accelerate.Accelerator.unwrap_model() to get the base model before calling generation methods. For example: generated_ids = model.module.generate(inputs).

import torch.nn.parallel as DDP
model = DDP(model)
generated_ids = model.module.generate(inputs)
