When does this happen?

IF CustomTrainer's compute_loss method raises TypeError due to unexpected keyword argument 'num_items_in_batch' when used with transformers >=4.49.0.

How others solved it

def compute_loss(self, model, inputs, num_items_in_batch=None, return_outputs=False):
    # original loss computation
    ...
