The flan-t5-xl model is a large language model developed by Google. It is based on the T5 transformer architecture and has been fine-tuned on over 1,000 additional tasks compared to the original T5 models. This fine-tuning, known as "Flan" prompting, allows the flan-t5-xl model to achieve strong performance on a wide range of tasks, from reasoning and question answering to language generation. Compared to similar models like flan-t5-xxl and flan-t5-large, the flan-t5-xl has a larger number of parameters (11 billion), allowing it to capture more complex patterns in the data. However, the smaller flan-t5-base model may be more efficient and practical for certain use cases. Overall, the FLAN-T5 models represent a significant advancement in transfer learning for natural language processing. Model inputs and outputs The flan-t5-xl model is a text-to-text transformer, meaning it takes text as input and generates text as output.
