  Toolkit for creating, sharing and using natural language prompts.

  

We fine-tuned the model on a dozens of different NLP datasets and tasks in a prompted style. You can read all the prompts in the appendix or get them all here: https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/promptsource . Most NLP tasks are not particularly freeform, or they are naturally length limited like summary (XSum is very short). As a consequence, the model mostly defaults to short responses. Your "trick" is not that unreasonable though! Many of the training prompts that want long responses, ask for them explicitly.

I don't have exact numbers for latency but the inference widget is currently on a TPU v3-8 (which if I am not mistaken could roughly be compared to a cluster of 8 V100). That gives you a rough idea of the latency for short inputs.

Note that a colleague just reminded me that it is possible on a single (big) GPU with enough CPU to run inference for T5-11B (which is the size we use) with offloading -> https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/9996#issu...
