JIT error on type annotation

jit

Any clues what might be causing this JIT issue? I would assume it should detect the Generator annotation. This is linked to following PR
Adding RNG to model initializers

I think asking in your PR might be a better place to fix potentially related issues or is the error unrelated to your changes?

The error doesn’t really arise from the changes. It is really type annotation, removing which pylint complains and keeping it the jit complains :stuck_out_tongue:
