+
+# 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)
+
+Find below some example scripts on how to use the model in `transformers` - bear in mind that the model is **extremely** large, so you may consider using disk offload from `accelerate`:

+# Uses
+
+## Direct Use and Downstream Use
+
+The authors write in [the original paper's model card](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.11416.pdf) that: 
+
+> The primary use is research on language models, including: research on zero-shot NLP tasks and in-context few-shot learning NLP tasks, such as reasoning, and question answering; advancing fairness and safety research, and understanding limitations of current large language models
+
+See the [research paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.11416.pdf) for further details.

+
+# Training Details
+
+## Training Data
+
+The model was trained on a Masked Language Modeling task, on Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus (C4) dataset, following the same procedure as `T5`.
+
+
+## Training Procedure
+
+According to the model card from the [original paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.11416.pdf):
+
+> These models are based on pretrained SwitchTransformers and are not fine-tuned. It is normal if they perform well on zero-shot tasks.
+
+The model has been trained on TPU v3 or TPU v4 pods, using [`t5x`](https://github.com/google-research/t5x) codebase together with [`jax`](https://github.com/google/jax).
+
+
+# Evaluation
+
+## Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
+
+The authors evaluated the model on various tasks and compared the results against T5. See the table below for some quantitative evaluation:
