RuntimeError: CUDA error: device-side assert triggered during Geneformer validation
Hello Hugging Face Community,
I am currently working with Geneformer (6-layer model) from this Hugging Face repository and I encountered the following error during validation:
RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

RuntimeError: CUDA error: device-side assert triggered
CUDA kernel errors might be asynchronously reported at some other API call, so the stacktrace below might be incorrect.
For debugging consider passing CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1
Compile with TORCH_USE_CUDA_DSA to enable device-side assertions.
Things I have tried:
Setting CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1: This helped me synchronize CUDA operations but I still encountered the same issue, without much more helpful information in the stack trace.
Switching to CPU: Running on CPU works without this issue, which leads me to believe it might be related to GPU or CUDA-specific tensor operations.
There may be a mismatch in the number of classes with the validation/train/test datasets. I recommend checking the classes since it could just be that the model expects a different number of classes than what’s provided in the dataset. I am also wondering what the output is when setting TORCH_USE_CUDA_DSA=1.
Closing for now, feel free to reopen if still not resolved
