In the DeBERTa documentation, it mentions the possibility of using TFDebertaModel. However, when I try to import it using the line below, I get the following error:

`from transformers import TFDebertaModel`

Error:

`ImportError: cannot import name 'TFDebertaModel' from 'transformers' (unknown location)`

How can I properly import TFDebertaModel, if it is even available?

Looks like it isn’t available yet. See this [DeBERTa in TF (TFAutoModel): unrecognized configuration class · Issue #9361 · huggingface/transformers · GitHub](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/9361) which says that (in Dec 2020) DeBERTa was only available in pytorch, not tensorflow.
