hi @TatyanaKavalenkaTR,

Thanks for your question.

Can you provide your Prodigy version? Ideally, if you can provide `prodigy stats`.

I think you may be running into this issue:

> [@Base model without tok2vec throws error](https://support.prodi.gy/t/base-model-without-tok2vec-throws-error/6576):

> Hello ! I have an issue since the version [v1.11.12](https://prodi.gy/docs/changelog#v1.11.12). As is stated in the doc, some bug was fixed around the --base-model usage. When I try to use a base model for NER on a simple dataset (I'm using fr\_dep\_news\_trf) prodigy returns the following error : KeyError: "[E001] No component 'tok2vec' found in pipeline. Available names: ['transformer', 'morphologizer', 'parser', 'attribute\_ruler', 'lemmatizer']" Which is... normal actually, since the fr\_dep\_news\_trf model does not have any tok2vec comp…

I think this was `transformers` related, but I'll need to check with colleagues.

Also - just curious, can you run [`spacy debug config`](https://spacy.io/api/cli#debug-config)? This helps us rule out if there's just an error with your config. Even better, if you could provide the config too, but if not, at least running debug config.
