Gluon

Hi, I’d love to use gluonnlp on Amazon SageMaker notebook instance.
!pip install gluonnlp
followed by
import gluonnlp as nlp

returns

How can I use gluonnlp on Amazon SageMaker?
Cheers

starting the script with !pip install --pre --upgrade mxnet solved the issue

That’s correct - as you’ve seen the training instances do currently run different versions of MXNet than the instance hosting the notebook Also for future ref, you can see the mxnet version with mxnet.version.
