I recommend updating the `huggingface_hub` library to the latest version and [using `max_new_tokens` instead of `max_length`](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/typeerror-inferenceclient-text-generation-got-an-unexpected-keyword-argument/160999) and [`huggingfacehub_api_token` instead of `token`](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/huggingface_endpoint/).

```bash
pip install -U huggingface_hub[hf_xet]

```

If you really need to use the old version of the code, I think there is a way to downgrade the `huggingface_hub` library.

```bash
pip install huggingface_hub<0.25

```
