Pile-T5 XL

Pile-T5 XL is an encoder-decoder model trained from scratch. Downloadable weights and intermediate checkpoints support research into text-to-text learning.

Research release

Encoder and decoder structure

XL retains 24 layers in both encoder and decoder but expands hidden width to 2,048. It uses the UMT5 implementation and a Llama tokenizer in Transformers; these choices do not make it a Llama-derived checkpoint.pile-t5-xl model configurationpile-t5-xl model card

Separate pretraining from task adaptation

The released base reconstructs masked spans. The project also links task fine-tunes for SuperGLUE, CodeXGLUE and instruction evaluation. A score obtained after those fine-tuning stages is not a zero-shot score for the base weights.pile-t5-xl model card

Training steps and formats

The repository includes 200 checkpoints spaced 10,000 training steps apart. T5x and Transformers files are distributions of this model. Task-specific fine-tunes are linked by the project and should be identified separately when reporting results.pile-t5-xl model card
