I am trying to test/deploy various transformer models through the Hugginface Sagemaker API. Currently, the most recent Transformers version supported by the package is 4.17-- decently behind the most recent version of 4.23.

Minimally, I would love support for 4.22 so I can deploy a fine-tuned Swin Transformer, which only got support in 4.22.

When can updates be expected?

Hi @ShuaHousetable

I’m not sure when new deep learning containers (DLCs) will be released, but it’s very easy to update the `transformers` version in an existing DLC by providing a requirements.txt file that specifies the version you’d like to update to. See also my post [here](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/deploying-open-ais-whisper-on-sagemaker/24761/9).

Cheers
