In chapter 3 - Fine-tuning a pretrained model, subchapter 3 - Fine-tuning a model with the Trainer API, Under the “Evaluation” section, I’m trying to run the following code as specified in the course: import evaluate metric = evaluate.load("glue", "mrpc") metric.compute(predictions=preds, references=predictions.label\_ids) But when I run it, I’m getting the following ValueError ---------------------------------------------------------------------…

in Colab:

```auto
!pip install numpy==1.26.4
