Hi,

Me and my research team have been wanting to deploy a transformer model on AWS.

Just wanted to know what is the highest version of transformer api that can run with estimator and AWS tuner ?

Last time i saw was that transformer version 3.5.1 works but can i use 4.10?

Have someone tried it?

Any input is much appreciated.

Hey @moma1820,

The current latest version of transformers for SageMaker is `4.6.1`.  
You can find a list of the currently supported versions in our documentation here: [Hugging Face on Amazon SageMaker](https://huggingface.co/docs/sagemaker/main#deep-learning-container-dlc-overview)  
We are keeping this up to date.

Speaking of `transformers 4.10.0` we are in the middle of creating a new DLC and support for the Estimator. You can find the PR here [[huggingface\_tensorflow, huggingface\_pytorch] update for Transformers to 4.10 by philschmid · Pull Request #1286](https://github.com/aws/deep-learning-containers/pull/1286)

But IF you want to use a specific transformers version for either inference and training you can always create an additional `requirements.txt` including your preferred transformers version and provide it for either training or inference.
