I am using TrainingArguments successfully so far. However by adding the argument sampling\_strategy, as per the documentation ([https://huggingface.co/docs/setfit/en/reference/trainer#setfit.TrainingArguments.sampling\_strategy](https://huggingface.co/docs/setfit/en/reference/trainer#setfit.TrainingArguments.sampling_strategy)) I get the following error:  
training\_args = TrainingArguments(output\_dir=“models/vit/new\_vit”, per\_device\_train\_batch\_size=16, evaluation\_strategy=“steps”,  
TypeError: **init** () got an unexpected keyword argument ‘sampling\_strategy’

I am using PyCharm through anaconda navigator. I have updated transformers package to 4.39.0.dev0 through source and still facing the issue.
