I have recently got the error “NameError: name ‘PartialState’ is not defined”  
when calling TrainingArguments() (when treating the course fine-tuning a model with  
Trainer API)  
Before getting this error I had already got the error “ImportError: Using the `Trainer` with `PyTorch` requires `accelerate`: Run `pip install --upgrade accelerate`”  
so I installed and import accelerate but after that I got the former error of 'PartialState"

I should remind I didn’t get those errors two weeks ago when I tested the code for the first time. Please kindly inform me what I should do now.

Installing a different version of transformers helped me: `!pip install datasets transformers==4.28.0`

Thanks @TestDvKrUA. That solved it for me too. A note for others. If it doesn’t catch your eye at first, there may be a message letting you know that you need to restart the runtime for it to take effect.

_WARNING: The following packages were previously imported in this runtime:_

- [tokenizers,transformers]\*  
_You must restart the runtime in order to use newly installed versions._

Hi, bostan1345  
Run:  
!pip install -U accelerate transformers  
And restart the kernel it works for me!
