Need to use an older version of transformer, but 'pip install deepspeed-mii' installs the latest one.

I encountered this issue too. May I ask which version of transformer you use?

Hi @tang-t21 - this is resolved in the latest source builds of DeepSpeed-MII here https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed-MII/pull/492. But we have not done a new release of MII that contains these fixes. We will work on this and update you when this is done soon.
