# TL;DR
Switch Transformers is a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model trained on Masked Language Modeling (MLM) task. The model architecture is similar to the classic T5, but with the Feed Forward layers replaced by the Sparse MLP layers containing "experts" MLP. According to the [original paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.03961.pdf) the model enables faster training (scaling properties) while being better than T5 on fine-tuned tasks.
As mentioned in the first few lines of the abstract :
> we advance the current scale of language models by pre-training up to trillion parameter models on the “Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus”, and achieve a 4x speedup over the T5-XXL model.

# Usage
Note that these checkpoints has been trained on Masked-Language Modeling (MLM) task. Therefore the checkpoints are not "ready-to-use" for downstream tasks. You may want to check `FLAN-T5` for running fine-tuned weights or fine-tune your own MoE following [this notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1aGGVHZmtKmcNBbAwa9hbu58DDpIuB5O4?usp=sharing)
