Summary of Changes

Hello @dsikka, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a temporary version pin for the transformers library dependency. The intent is to prevent potential compatibility issues or breaking changes that might occur with newer versions of the library, ensuring the stability of the current build until a more permanent resolution can be implemented.

Highlights

• Dependency Version Pinning: The transformers library dependency in setup.py has been updated to restrict its maximum allowed version to less than 4.53.0. Previously, the constraint allowed versions up to 5.0.

Code Review

The pull request pins the transformers dependency to a specific version (<4.53.0) in setup.py. This is likely done to avoid compatibility issues or bugs introduced in later versions. While pinning dependencies can be a temporary solution, it's important to monitor the pinned dependency for security updates and compatibility with other libraries. Adding a comment explaining the reason for pinning and a plan to update it in the future would be beneficial.

Is it worth checking if #1599 fixes most of them?
