Failed to import transformers.trainer because of the following error (look up to see its traceback): module 'numpy.linalg._umath_linalg' has no attribute '_ilp64'

I think the latest version of numpy cause this bug since downgrading numpy to version 1.24.1 seem to fix the issue.

Hi @hugoquintel, thanks for flagging this. What version of numpy were you using prior to downgrading?

[hugoquintel]

@akashsaravanan-georgian The default version on google colab i believe

Thanks! I'll look into this and fix it for our next release.

Hi @hugoquintel it seems like this is an issue with Google CoLab. I was able to recreate the issue you faced. For some reason the version installed does not match the version that shows up when we run np.__version__.

Upon further investigation, if you restart the kernel (Runtime -> Restart Session in the menu), this issue goes away. I'll add a line to the notebook mentioning this, but I don't think there's any other changes required to the library itself.

Closing this issue but happy to re-open if the above steps don't solve it for you!
