MODEL PROFILE

T0pp

bigscience · T0pp

**How do I pronounce the name of the model?** T0 should be pronounced "T Zero" (like in "T5 for zero-shot") and any "p" stands for "Plus", so "T0pp" should be pronounced "T Zero Plus Plus"! T0* shows zero-shot task generalization on English natural language prompts, outperforming GPT-3 on many tasks, while being 16x smaller. It is a series of encoder-decoder models trained on a large set of different tasks specified in natural language prompts. We convert numerous English supervised datasets into prompts, each with multiple templates using varying formulations. These prompted datasets allow for benchmarking the ability of a model to perform completely unseen tasks specified in natural language. To obtain T0*, we fine-tune a pretrained language model on this multitask mixture covering many different NLP tasks. You can use the models to perform inference on tasks by specifying your query in natural language, and the models will generate a prediction. For instance, you can ask *"Is this review positive or negative? Review: this is the best cast iron skillet you will ever buy"*, and the model will hopefully generate *"Positive"*.

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
