I am getting essentially the same problem when I try to deploy my model.
My code is:
# from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification
modelPath = 's3://<bucket>/<key>/models/checkpoint-11000-Sample.gz'
image_uri = 'docker.artifactory.xxxx.com/aaaa/mlaeep/mlaeep.0.0.1-dev'
IAM_ROLE = 'arn:aws:iam::5555555555555:role/MY_ROLE'
instance_type = 'ml.p3.2xlarge'
vpc_config = {"Subnets": ["subnet-000dd0000dddd"],
              "SecurityGroupIds": ["sg-0f0a00a000000", "sg-11889033ae0d",
                                   "sg-d0c2aaaaaaaaaa"]
              }

model = HuggingFaceModel(
    model_data=modelPath,
    role=get_execution_role(),
    image_uri=image_uri,
    transformers_version='4.6',  # was 4.4
    pytorch_version='1.7',
    name='Aegiseep',
    vpc_config=vpc_config
)
predictor = model.deploy(
    initial_instance_count=1,
    instance_type=instance_type,
)

inputString = "140006  820  76  DE  Dreher  ,  Denyse  M  File:  571587  Dept:  100  Rate:  1216  99  35  00  1  216  99  1  216  99  64  72  FIT  38  45  MA  02  661  18  X  CHECK  60  85  A  401K  Voucher#"
input = {"inputs": inputString}
predictor.predict(input)
predictor.delete_endpoint()


The error stack is:
