Thank you!

• [x] Check that you are up-to-date with the master branch of Keras. You can update with: pip install git+git://github.com/fchollet/keras.git --upgrade --no-deps

• [x] If running on TensorFlow, check that you are up-to-date with the latest version. The installation instructions can be found here.

• [ ] If running on Theano, check that you are up-to-date with the master branch of Theano. You can update with: pip install git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git --upgrade --no-deps

• [ ] Provide a link to a GitHub Gist of a Python script that can reproduce your issue (or just copy the script here if it is short).

rnn_size = 10 init = K.variable(value=np.zeros(rnn_size), dtype='float64', name='init_state') gru_1 = GRU(rnn_size)(x, initial_state=init)

runs without error but running

rnn_size = 10 init = K.variable(value=np.zeros([rnn_size, 2]), dtype='float64', name='init_state') gru_2 = Bidirectional(GRU(rnn_size))(x, initial_state=init)

gives TypeError: call() got an unexpected keyword argument 'initial_state'
