When does this happen?
IF When using Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct with attn_implementation='flex_attention', generation fails with TypeError: pad(): argument 'pad' failed to unpack the object at pos 2 with error 'type must be tuple of ints,but got NoneType'.
How others solved it
THEN Switch to attn_implementation='eager' in the from_pretrained call. Avoid flex_attention for now as it is experimental and likely to cause other issues. This resolves the padding error and allows text and image input generation to work.
# Instead of:
# model = Llama4ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_id, attn_implementation="flex_attention", ...)
# Use:
model = Llama4ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
model_id,
attn_implementation="eager",
device_map="auto",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
