When does this happen?

IF Attempting to set `pipeline` device to the string 'mps' results in AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'type'.

How others solved it

THEN When using Hugging Face Transformers pipelines with PyTorch's MPS backend, always pass a `torch.device` object (e.g., `torch.device('mps')`) instead of a plain string. For example: `pipeline('sentiment-analysis', device=torch.device('mps'))`. Also explicitly move the model to the MPS device via `.to('mps')`. Note: PyTorch MPS backend may still have correctness bugs (e.g., `torch.arange` returns zeros).

from transformers import pipeline
import torch
classifier = pipeline("sentiment-analysis", device=torch.device("mps"))
classifier.model.to("mps")
classifier("We are very sad to mps backend is not supported in Transformers.")
