Fixing the DeepSpeed Import Error While Fine-Tuning the Qwen Model

While fine-tuning the Qwen model, I encountered an error in the finetune.py script:

ImportError: cannot import name 'deepspeed' from 'transformers.deepspeed'

After some investigation, I discovered the issue stems from a recent update in the Transformers library. The transformers.deepspeed module has been deprecated and replaced by transformers.integrations. To fix this, you need to update the import statement in your script.

The Fix

Replace this:

from transformers.deepspeed import deepspeed

With this:

from transformers.integrations import deepspeed

This small change resolved the error, allowing the fine-tuning process to proceed smoothly.
