I am trying to use the trainer to fine tune a bert model but it keeps trying to connect to wandb and I dont know what that is and just want it off. is there a config I am missing?

import os
os.environ[“WANDB\_DISABLED”] = “true”
This works for me.

alternatively, you can disable the weights and biases ([wandb](https://wandb.ai/site)) callback in the `TrainingArguments` [directly](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main_classes/trainer.html?highlight=trainingarguments#trainingarguments):
```auto
# None disables all integrations
args = TrainingArguments(report_to=None, ...)
```

It should be “none”, not `None`

Hi @hiramcho, check out the docs on the logger to solve that issue. You just need to call `wandb.init(project='your_project_name')` somewhere before you start using the logger. [https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/integrations/huggingface](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/integrations/huggingface)

For me, I want wandb, but I don’t like the many prints during training.
Even though I set the logging level to be WARNING, I still get many:
```auto
Generate config GenerationConfig {
"decoder_start_token_id": 0,
"eos_token_id": 1,
"pad_token_id": 0,
"transformers_version": "4.26.0"
}
```
How do I turn this print off? (Print is in configuration\_utils.py:543)

I get these annoying prints when running on Kaggle
Generate config GenerationConfig {
“decoder\_start\_token\_id”: 0,
“eos\_token\_id”: 1,
“pad\_token\_id”: 0,
“transformers\_version”: “4.26.0”
}
when the code starts evaluation
it prints each step
how to tun it off Please
???

I also had the same issue with the annoying `Generate config GenerationConfig` lines. In my case, upgrading from transformers 4.26.0 to 4.27.2 solved the issue.

I also faced the same issue, and the issue is caused by [transformers/configuration\_utils.py at main · huggingface/transformers · GitHub](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/generation/configuration_utils.py#L575)
Comment that part the issue should be solved.

This method is productive in kaggle. Thank you!
