For reproducility you can try the following commands:

```auto
from transformers import ViTModel
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'ViTModel' from 'transformers' (/opt/anaconda/anaconda3/envs/transformers/lib/python3.12/site-packages/transformers/ __init__.py). Did you mean: 'GPT2Model'?

```

Any idea?

**UPDATE:**  
uninstalling and reinstalling it (using PIP), I have now the 4.45.1 version installed.  
Running the same command above gives me the following error:

```auto

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

If it works, OK.
