got assertion error while loading the CodeT5+ models 16B-Instruct, 6B and 2B like this "AssertionError: Config has to be initialized with encoder and decoder config". how to solve this issue #178

Description

@Tarak200

from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

checkpoint = "Salesforce/codet5p-2b"
device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint,
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
trust_remote_code=True).to(device)

encoding = tokenizer("def print_hello_world():", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
encoding['decoder_input_ids'] = encoding['input_ids'].clone()
outputs = model.generate(**encoding, max_length=15)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

used the same code from huggingface, encountered the following error :
AssertionError: Config has to be initialized with encoder and decoder config, How to resolve this issue?

    Hi @Tarak200 , I am also getting the same error while inferencing using Codet5p 2B model. Were you able to find a solution? Thanks.

    @angelocurti Hello, I haven't been able to find a solution. Any suggestions from your end will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Creating the generation config solved my problem.

    from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer
    from transformers import GenerationConfig
    import torch

    checkpoint = "Salesforce/codet5p-2b"
    device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage

    Select a device (CPU if no GPU is available, otherwise the first GPU)

    device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
    print(f"Selected device: {device}")

    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
    model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    trust_remote_code=True).to(device)

    python_function = "write code for matrix multiplication"
    encoding = tokenizer(python_function, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
    encoding['decoder_input_ids'] = encoding['input_ids'].clone()

    # Create a GenerationConfig with custom settings
    generation_config = GenerationConfig(
    max_length=950
    )

    outputs = model.generate(**encoding, generation_config=generation_config)
    print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

    @Roisan

    @ardhiwiratamaby Thank you for providing the solution, I am now able to infer the 2B model.
