Updating error message from "flash-attn is not installed" to "a compatible version of flash-attn is not installed," since the former error message is confusing to those who actually do have flash-attn installed, just a more recent version (not <1.0.5) in which flash_attn.flash_attention.FlashMHA is no longer included
|
actually, I am getting this warning message even in my environment that has flash-attn 1.0.4, so now I'm not sure why I'm getting the warning, and my updated error message isn't sufficient to explain it. I will write back if I figure it out |
|
The reason I was getting the error even with flash-attn 1.0.4 installed was because my pytorch version was incompatible with my flash-attn version, so the import statement was failing. I still think updating the warning message may lead to less confusion. |
