I copied - and rechecked - the code of the article “Fine-tuned a pretrained model”.  
I train the model with PyTorch Trainer and the evaluate.load(“accuracy”) returns the AttributeError:‘DownloadConfig’ object has no attribute ‘use\_auth\_token’

Versions: evaluate: 0.4.1, datasets: 3.0.0, transformers: 4.24.0

I don’t find explanation on internet.

Can you help me? Thanks

hi, version problems.  
firstly, uninstall evaluate  
pip uninstall evaluate

secondly, install the stable version  
pip install evaluate==0.4.0

According to [this discussion](https://github.com/huggingface/evaluate/issues/638), there are 2 options to fix the issue: either upgrade the version of `evaluate` to 0.4.3 ([Release 0.4.3 · huggingface/evaluate · GitHub](https://github.com/huggingface/evaluate/releases/tag/v0.4.3)) or downgrade the version of datasets to \< 3.0.0.
