Lift upper version limit of transformers for habana about optimum HOT 4 OPEN

Thank you for the update. We can wait a bit longer for the update.

I prefer to avoid install from git. Although a requirements.txt can contain a git URL, PyPI does not permit packages that have dependencies with direct URL references.

We still need the >= 4.38.0, < 4.39.0 dependency on Transformers for Optimum Habana because the latest stable release of Optimum Habana (i.e. v1.11.1) doesn't work with more recent version of Transformers.
huggingface/optimum-habana#1027 was merged a few days ago to have compatibility with Transformers v4.40 and Optimum Habana v1.12 will be released soon. You can also install the library from source if you want to benefit from this change now:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana.git

Hi,

do you haven an ETA for the new releases of optimum and optimum-habana? We are facing the issue that Habana's vLLM fork wants transfomers >= 4.40, which conflicts with optimum-habana 1.11.1's >= 4.38.0, < 4.39.0.
