When does this happen?
IF When using Hugging Face pipeline with Gemma 3 1B instruct model, the tokenizer is None, causing AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'apply_chat_template'.
How others solved it
THEN Explicitly load the tokenizer and model using AutoTokenizer and AutoModelForCausalLM before creating the pipeline. Pass the loaded model and tokenizer to pipeline('text-generation', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer). Do not rely on pipeline’s automatic model loading for Gemma instruct models.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, pipeline
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('google/gemma-3-1b-it')
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('google/gemma-3-1b-it')
generator = pipeline('text-generation', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
output = generator(prompt, max_length=200)Related patterns
