PyTorch: RuntimeError: Input, output and indices must be on the current device

Question

I am running a BERT model on torch. It's a multi-class sentiment classification task with about 30,000 rows. I have already put everything on cuda, but not sure why I'm getting the following run time error. Here is my code:

for epoch in tqdm(range(1, epochs+1)):
    
    model.train()
    
    loss_train_total = 0

    progress_bar = tqdm(dataloader_train, desc='Epoch {:1d}'.format(epoch), leave=False, disable=False)
    for batch in progress_bar:

        model.zero_grad()
        
        batch = tuple(b.to(device) for b in batch)
        
        inputs = {'input_ids':      batch[0],
                  'attention_mask': batch[1],
                  'labels':         batch[2],
                 }       

        outputs = model(**inputs)
        
        loss = outputs[0]
        loss_train_total += loss.item()
        loss.backward()

        torch.nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_(model.parameters(), 1.0)

        optimizer.step()
        scheduler.step()
        
        progress_bar.set_postfix({'training_loss': '{:.3f}'.format(loss.item()/len(batch))})
         
        
    torch.save(model.state_dict(), f'finetuned_BERT_epoch_{epoch}.model')
        
    tqdm.write(f'\nEpoch {epoch}')
    
    loss_train_avg = loss_train_total/len(dataloader_train)            
    tqdm.write(f'Training loss: {loss_train_avg}')
    
    val_loss, predictions, true_vals = evaluate(dataloader_validation)
    val_f1 = f1_score_func(predictions, true_vals)
    tqdm.write(f'Validation loss: {val_loss}')
    tqdm.write(f'F1 Score (Weighted): {val_f1}')

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

You should put your model on the device, which is probably cuda:

device = "cuda:0"
model = model.to(device)
 

Then make sure the inputs of the model(input) are on the same device as well:

input = input.to(device)

It should work!
