Auto-captioner error: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'Tensor'

[Zyin055]

Tried using the auto-captioner feature for the first time. Kept the default settings, and after it downloaded a bunch of models it shows this error in the GUI (nothing in the console). It wont let me copy/paste the whole error from GUI, so I typed the relevant parts here:

Loading THUDM/cogagent-vqa-hf...
A matching Triton is not available, some optimizations will not be enabled
Traceback (most recent call last):

... _backends.py line 408, in is_appropriate_type
return isinstance(tensor, (self.tf.Tensor.self.tf.Variable))
AttributeError:
module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'Tensor'

I have an RTX 3060 12GB, Windows 10.

If I can't get this working, where is the download directory so I can delete the 34GB of models that were downloaded? edit: found the models at: C:\Users\<USER>\.cache\huggingface\hub\models--THUDM--cogagent-vqa-hf

Are you running a .exe file from releases, or did you install manually?

[Zyin055]

I manually installed with a git clone and installed the requirements.txt file.

Please try installing the dependencies into a new separate virtual environment (if you haven't already), or deleting and recreating the virtual environment. Similar issues online suggest that this will fix the problem.

Alternatively, you can download and run the .exe file which does not require any installation.

Windows 10 comes up with a virus detection when downloading taggui-v1.17.0-windows.7z and automatically deleted it.

[jhc13]

It's a false positive caused by PyInstaller, so you can revert the deletion.

If you do not trust it, you can try reinstalling manually as I described.

Ran the .exe version and the caption model worked.

The captions it made aren't much different than BLIP though, so /shrug
