Jupyter kernel dies when importing pipeline function from transformers class on Mac OS

Question

I'm unable to import pipeline function of transformers class as my jupyter kernel keeps dying. Tried on transformers-4.15.0 and 4.16.2. Anyone faced this issue?

I tried importing the class in a new notebook as you can see in the image and it keeps killing the kernel.

It works fine for me.

You could try creating a fresh conda environment and reinstalling the app.

You could also try using jupyterlab instead of jupyter-notebook.

Are you on Mac OS? I couldn't get it to run at first using conda install transformers my jupyterlab kept hanging as well.

Then I did this, conda install -c huggingface transformers and here is the result.

It works fine for me on linux and Mac now.
