Describe the bug
There is a bug within the newer transformers releases (>4.51.0) that results in a consistent failure within linux_train.py
The training process fails somewhere inside of the transformers library call to generate samples and provides no stack trace, other than saying that a tuple object is generated somewhere that does not contain any logits

Updating parameters to the function call does not seem to fix the problem
This issue only affects linux_train.py which is legacy code at this point

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Try to execute simple train pipeline in a linux environment or run small-test job in CI
2. hit error

Expected behavior
