GCP AI Platform Notebook driver too old?
I am trying to run the following Hugging Face Transformers tutorial on GCP's AI Platform Notebook with 32 vCPUs, 208 GB RAM, and 2 NVIDIA Tesla T4s.
However, when I try to run the part
model = DistillBERTClass()
model.to(device)
I get the following Assertion Error:
AssertionError: The NVIDIA driver on your system is too old (found version 10010).
Please update your GPU driver by downloading and installing a new
version from the URL: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
Alternatively, go to: https://pytorch.org to install
a PyTorch version that has been compiled with your version
of the CUDA driver.

However, when I run
!nvidia-smi

The version on the NVIDIA driver is compatible with the latest PyTorch version, which I am using.
Has anyone else ran into this error, and is there a way around it?

You can try a newer NVIDIA driver version,  we support latest CUDA 11 driver version, and then install Pytorch on top of it:
gcloud beta notebooks instances create cuda11 \
--vm-image-project=deeplearning-platform-release \
--vm-image-family=common-cu110-notebooks-debian-9 \
--machine-type=n1-standard-1 \
--location=us-west1-a \
--format=json

Image family:

common-cu110-notebooks-debian-9
common-cu110-notebooks-debian-10
