# 🐛 Bug

## Information

CUDA: 10.1
Python 3.6.8 (default, Oct  7 2019, 12:59:55)
Installed transformers from source.
Trying to train **gpt2-medium**

Command Line:
```
export TRAIN_FILE=dataset/wiki.train.raw
export TEST_FILE=dataset/wiki.test.raw

Comments:
What's your PyTorch version? Can you post the output of `transformers-cli env`

This does not seem specific to `examples/run_language_modeling.py` so I'm gonna ping @patrickvonplaten on this

@julien-c thanks for the prompt response.
`- `transformers` version: 2.8.0
- Platform: Linux-4.14.138+-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-18.04-bionic
- Python version: 3.6.8
- PyTorch version (GPU?): 1.3.0 (True)
- Tensorflow version (GPU?): not installed (NA)
- Using GPU in script?: yes
- Using distributed or parallel set-up in script?: no`

Hi @ankit-chadha, 

I will take a look next week :-). Maybe @sshleifer - do you something from the top of your head? This issue is also related: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/3676.

I have tried to replicate in torch 1.4 and mask, masked_bias are float16, and there is no error.

Would it be possible to upgrade torch to 1.4 and see if the problem persists @ankit-chadha ?

Could you provide a small subset of your data so that I can reproduce?

@sshleifer  - I am using the wiki.train.raw default dataset.
