Hi @Dmg02,

This is related to the recent numpy v2.0.0. (released on 16/06/2024). There's a backwards-incompatible change that affects `thinc` and we are [working on it](https://github.com/explosion/thinc/issues/939).  
In the meantime, to get unblocked you could install the previous version of numpy in your virtual env e.g.:

```python
python -m pip install numpy==1.26.4

```

That should baypass the current issue.

Hi again @Dmg02,

Alternatively you could also upgrade to Prodigy 1.15.6 (we have just released it) - see [here](https://support.prodi.gy/t/installation-issues-after-numpy-2-0-0-release/7281).
