AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'to_legacy_cache'

[wuxb45]

System Info

transformers 4.36.1.

transformers/models/llama/modeling_llama.py", line 1093, in forward
    next_cache = next_decoder_cache.to_legacy_cache() if use_legacy_cache else next_decoder_cache

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'to_legacy_cache'

This error pops up when running inference with llama 2 model with the new tranformers 4.36.1. I didn't test 4.36.0. It was running correctly with 4.35.x.

This seems to be related to changes from #26681, and commit 633215b.

hi @wuxb45
can you share a fully reproducible snippet?

I have the same issue with transofrmers 4.36.1. I am using DeepSpeed framework to generate a response and face this the same error.

[ArthurZucker]

We cannot help you if you don't share a reproducible snippet. The way this part of the code works should not trigger this error because the past key values are casted to the DynamicCache if use_legacy_cache. Thus there is probably a versioning issue

I have the same issue with transofrmers 4.36.1. I am using DeepSpeed framework to generate a response and face this the same error.

Me too. I also struggled with this problem for a long time, using deepspeed-chat to train reinforcement learning code.@liziniu

hi @wuxb45 can you share a fully reproducible snippet?

I don't have the capacity to generate a reprod at this time. The issue was from running a code base forked from deepspeed chat's step 3. I'm sorry that I cannot provide more information now.

I solved this by removing tensor parallel. It seems that merging perdevicetensor converted Cache to Tuple.

HI, i also faced the same issue. May I ask how you actually removed the tensor parallel if you are also using the deepspeed chat code?

[taozhang9527]

I had the same errors with 4.36.0 and 4.36.2 versions for Llama inferencing on multiple GPUs with tensor_parallel package.

[taozhang9527]

I tried version 4.36.0.dev0 . I don't have the issue. Other versions including 4.37.0.dev0 will give the AttributeError.

[younesbelkada]

Hi everyone, please let us know whenever you can share a small reproducible snippet as we can't do anything without a repro to fix the bug

[taozhang9527]

@younesbelkada

You can probably try the following code with different transformers versions to reproduce:

import torch
from tensor_parallel import TensorParallelPreTrainedModel
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

model_path = "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
model = TensorParallelPreTrainedModel(model, ["cuda:0", "cuda:1", "cuda:2", "cuda:3"])
tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
inputs = tokenizer("Hi, how are you doing?", return_tensors="pt", add_special_tokens=False)
outputs = tokenizer.decode(model.generate(inputs["input_ids"].cuda(0), attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"].cuda(0), max_length=256)[0], add_special_tokens=False)

print(outputs)

To me, only 4.36.0.dev0 works. After updating to new version, it won't work and I was not able to go back to the old 4.36.0.dev0 version.

[ArthurZucker]

Alright this is pretty much a duplicate of #28003. We made a mistake by not advertising to test a bit more for other repos to get ready, feel free to share it on the tensor_parallel repo

[guojiapub]

To me, it works with transformers==4.34.1

Apparently this issue was introduced due to this this commit PR #26681 by @tomaarsen and @patrickvonplaten

next_decoder_cache should be a cache, which means it is not well initialized as a cache. Instead of a tuple , the new HF implementation pass a list of cache:

https://github.com/tomaarsen/transformers/blob/ee60b1cc13e2819ef31e69952c0b6f616bd724b8/src/transformers/models/llama/modeling_llama.py#L287C45-L287C76
layer_idx: Optional[int] = None

#https://github.com/tomaarsen/transformers/blob/ee60b1cc13e2819ef31e69952c0b6f616bd724b8/src/transformers/models/llama/modeling_llama.py#L355
past_key_value: Optional[Cache] = None,

Layer_idx is later used by past_key_value, and past_key_value is currently replaced as list of Cache.

Note the diff contains a kind of cache (for attention KV cache) which implements to_legacy_cache.

I guess deepspeed version does not instantiate llama attention correctly or we should change the code as @fxmarty suggests:

        if use_cache:
	            use_legacy_cache = not isinstance(past_key_values, Cache) and past_key_values is not None
	            if use_legacy_cache:
	                past_key_values = DynamicCache.from_legacy_cache(past_key_values)
	            elif past_key_values is None:
	                past_key_values = DynamicCache()
	            past_key_values_length = past_key_values.get_seq_length()

您好，邮箱主人会认真阅读！谢谢关注/

[yadavpa1]

I am facing a similar issue AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'to_legacy_cache' while training Llama 7B. What is the concluded solution?

[ArthurZucker]

If you did not change your version of transformers that is expected. Upgrading to the latest / providing a repo should help!

[wangguojim]

transformers==4.35.2 works

[AsteriaCao]

I tried version 4.36.0.dev0 . I don't have the issue. Other versions including 4.37.0.dev0 will give the AttributeError.

My transformers version is 4.45.0.dev0. It works
