When does this happen?
IF When using PyTorch's DistributedDataParallel to wrap a HuggingFace VisionEncoderDecoderModel (e.g., TrOCR), calling model.generate() raises AttributeError because the method is not exposed by the DDP wrapper.
How others solved it
THEN Unwrap the model before calling generate. Use model.module.generate() directly, or use HuggingFace Accelerate's accelerator.unwrap_model() to get the underlying model, then call generate on it. For production, consider using HuggingFace Accelerate for distributed training as it handles model wrapping and unwrapping automatically.
# Direct DDP unwrap: model = DistributedDataParallel(model) output = model.module.generate(inputs) # Using Accelerate: from accelerate import Accelerator accelerator = Accelerator() model = accelerator.prepare(model) unwrapped_model = accelerator.unwrap_model(model) output = unwrapped_model.generate(inputs)
