Make sure the slot variables are created under the same strategy scope.
- `transformers` version: 3.5.0
- Platform: jupyter notebook
- Python version: 3.6.9
- Tensorflow version (GPU?): 2.3.1
- Using GPU in script?: Single RTX 2080TI
- Model: "distilbert-base-multilingual-cased"

with tf.device('/device:GPU:0'):
    model.compile(optimizer=optimizer, loss=loss_fn)
    model.fit(train_dataset.batch(batch_size_train), epochs=1)

Code above works fine. Using TFtrainer with code below produces strategy error.
Note:
tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU') gives [PhysicalDevice(name='/physical_device:GPU:0', device_type='GPU')]
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

from transformers import BertTokenizer, TFBertForTokenClassification
from transformers import __version__
from transformers import TFTrainer, TFTrainingArguments

label2id = {"False": 0, "True": 1}
bert_model = "distilbert-base-multilingual-cased"
cache_dir = "cache/distilbert"

model = TFBertForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(
    bert_model,
    cache_dir = cache_dir, 
    num_labels = len(label2id), 
    label2id = label2id, 
    id2label = {v:k for k,v in label2id.items()}
)

training_args = TFTrainingArguments(
    output_dir='cp',   
    num_train_epochs=1,             
    per_device_train_batch_size=16, 
    warmup_steps=500,               
    weight_decay=0.05,              
)
                               
trainer = TFTrainer(
    model=model,                        
    args=training_args,                  
    train_dataset=train_dataset,    
)

trainer.train()

I think i already got an answer to my question from this page https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/token-classification/run_tf_ner.py :)
