Hi,
I am training my own GPT2 model using Bert tokenizer dealing with the Chinese characters.
I plan to train the model with 100 epochs and the model is saved on every 500 steps.
However, when I try to do generation testing on the model using the TextGenerationPipeline, it pops up an error starting from checkpoint-30000
RuntimeError: probability tensor contains either `inf`, `nan` or element < 0

The TextGenerationPipeline works fine for the checkpoint before 30000 and I can’t figure out the reason of getting this error.
Here is my code snippet of text generation.
from transformers import BertTokenizer, GPT2LMHeadModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizer(vocab_file='./vocab.txt')
finetune_model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("model/pretrained/checkpoint-30000")
from transformers import TextGenerationPipeline, Text2TextGenerationPipeline
input_text = "你 好 嗎"
text_generator = TextGenerationPipeline(finetune_model, tokenizer)   
generated_text = text_generator([input_text], max_length=128, do_sample=True)

Traceback:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
