Thanks @ArjunPimpale ! Sorry didn't have the time to try the CLI myself. Is

echo -e "Plants create [MASK] through a process known as photosynthesis." | transformers run --task fill-mask --model google-bert/bert-base-uncased --device 0

working as expected now? :)

Yup it works perfectly but this is not the command , let me explain. I noticed that the --task flag is not listed in the transformers run --help output, which likely means it has been deprecated and no longer functions as expected (likely due to #41487).

Running the command without the --task flag works correctly, for example:

echo -e "Plants create [MASK] through a process known as photosynthesis." | transformers run fill-mask --model google-bert/bert-base-uncased --device 0

Output:-

Which looks good to me. ( works in my branch which I tried to pr)

This is why I originally raised the issue as a documentation bug — since the --task flag is still mentioned in several places, it may need to be updated or removed for consistency.

Hope this clarifies things :)
thanks
