Question: After training a model using Google Colab, I downloaded it using the following command (inside Google Colab): model.save('model.h5') from google.colab import files files.download('model.h5')  My problem is that when I try to load the downloaded model.h5 using my local machine (outside Google Colab), I get the following error: [input] from keras.models import load_model model = load_model(model.h5)  [output] Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 2, in <module> model = load_model(filepath = 'saved_model/model2.h5',custom_objects=None,compile=True, ) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/saving/save.py", line 184, in load_model return hdf5_format.load_model_from_hdf5(filepath, custom_objects, compile) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/saving/hdf5_format.py", line 177, in load_model_from_hdf5 model = model_config_lib.model_from_config(model_config, File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/saving/model_config.py", line 55, in model_from_config return deserialize(config, custom_objects=custom_objects) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/layers/serialization.py", line 105, in deserialize return deserialize_keras_object( File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/utils/generic_utils.py", line 369, in deserialize_keras_object return cls.from_config( File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/engine/sequential.py", line 397, in from_config layer = layer_module.deserialize(layer_config, File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/layers/serialization.py", line 105, in deserialize return deserialize_keras_object( File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/utils/generic_utils.py", line 375, in deserialize_keras_object return cls.from_config(cls_config) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/engine/base_layer.py", line 655, in from_config return cls(**config) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/layers/convolutional.py", line 582, in __init__ super(Conv2D, self).__init__( File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/layers/convolutional.py", line 121, in __init__ super(Conv, self).__init__( File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/training/tracking/base.py", line 456, in _method_wrapper result = method(self, *args, **kwargs) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/engine/base_layer.py", line 294, in __init__ generic_utils.validate_kwargs(kwargs, allowed_kwargs) File "/home/lucasmirachi/anaconda3/envs/myenviron/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/utils/generic_utils.py", line 792, in validate_kwargs raise TypeError(error_message, kwarg) TypeError: ('Keyword argument not understood:', 'groups')  Does anyone know what is this 'groups' keyword argument not understood? Instead of using from keras.models I have tried using from tensorflow.keras.models but I had no success, I got the same error. In both Google Colab and on my local machine I'm running Keras '2.4.3' Thank you all in advance!

Answer: I commented earlier saying I had the same exact error from doing the same exact thing. I just solved it by upgrading both tensorflow and keras on my local machine pip install --upgrade tensorflow pip install --upgrade keras  The error was probably due to differing versions of the packages between Colab and local machine. Hope this works for you, too.
