# bengali-t5-large

**bengali-t5-large** is a model trained on the Bengali portion of MT5 dataset. We used the `T5-large` model for this model.

[Flax/Jax Community Week](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104), organized by [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/) and TPU usage sponsored by Google.

The model is trained on around ~11B tokens (64 size batch, 512 tokens, 350k steps).
