# ruT5-base
The model architecture design, pretraining, and evaluation are documented in our preprint: [**A Family of Pretrained Transformer Language Models for Russian**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.10931).

The model was trained by the [SberDevices](https://sberdevices.ru/).  
* Task: `text2text generation`
* Type: `encoder-decoder`
* Tokenizer: `bpe`
* Dict size: `32 101`
* Num Parameters: `222 M`	
* Training Data Volume `300 GB`
