Hello,  
I’m currently trying to export my Distilbert model to TFLite using the Optimum-cli :

optimum-cli export tflite --model my\_model\_path --task ‘text-classification’ --sequence\_length 128 tflite\_directory\_path

It’s a DistilbertForSequenceClassification model

Hi @aroger! Indeed I got the same error. We are going to look into it.

In the meantime, you can export your model to TFLite with the following command:

```auto
python3 -m optimum.exporters.tflite --model my_model_path --task text-classification --sequence_length 128 tflite_directory_path

```

@aroger We just released a patch, could you upgrade Optimum with `pip install --upgrade optimum` and try again please?
