When does this happen?
IF When using PyTorch's DistributedDataParallel to wrap a Hugging Face model that has a generate method (e.g., TrOCR), calling model.generate() raises AttributeError because DDP does not expose the generate method.
How others solved it
THEN Unwrap the model to access the original module. Directly use model.module.generate(inputs) or use HuggingFace Accelerate's accelerator.unwrap_model(model) to retrieve the underlying model and then call generate. For example: generated_ids = model.module.generate(inputs) or after unwrapping with Accelerator.
from torch.nn.parallel import DistributedDataParallel as DDP model = DDP(model) # incorrect: generated_ids = model.generate(inputs) # correct: generated_ids = model.module.generate(inputs) # Alternative with accelerate: from accelerate import Accelerator accelerator = Accelerator() model = accelerator.prepare(model) unwrapped_model = accelerator.unwrap_model(model) generated_ids = unwrapped_model.generate(inputs)
