I am running bloom with transformers with WSL2 using Ubuntu. Installed CUDA according to documentation and am able to train other AI/ML models which utilize CUDA. Why am I getting this error?

from transformers import pipeline

name = “bigscience/bloom-350m”  
text = “Hello my name is”  
max\_new\_tokens = 20

pipe = pipeline(model=name, model\_kwargs= {“device\_map”: “auto”, “load\_in\_8bit”: True}, max\_new\_tokens=20)

RuntimeError: Failed to import transformers.models.bloom.modeling\_bloom because of the following error (look up to see its traceback):  
CUDA exception! Error code: no CUDA-capable device is detected
