I am trying to reproduce the example from this blog post "Fine-Tune Whisper  
[Fine-Tune Whisper For Multilingual ASR with Transformers](https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-whisper). The blog refers to a Google Colab notebook.

However, when I run the notebook, the cell that sets training arguments fails with the following code:

 ![error_accelerate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/hellohellohello/original/3X/a/9/a9d288ebec38cd97df70d854d18073545bd42726.jpeg)

I tried to run both commands proposed in the error code (pip install transformers[torch] and …accelerate -U" and checked that `accelerate` is actually installed as can be seen in line [28] but the error persists.

The code was run on T4 GPU in Google Colab.

Restart the runtime and it should go away (weird colab issue)
