What is mt0-large?
MT0-Large is a powerful multilingual text-to-text transformer model that belongs to the BLOOMZ & mT0 family. It's specifically designed for following human instructions in dozens of languages zero-shot, achieved through finetuning on the crosslingual task mixture (xP3). The model represents a significant advancement in multilingual AI capabilities, with 1.23 billion parameters trained across 101 languages.
Implementation Details
The model is built on the MT5 architecture and has been finetuned for 25,000 steps using 4.62 billion tokens. Training was conducted using TPUv4-64 hardware with bfloat16 precision, orchestrated through T5X and implemented in Jax.
