# mT5

[mT5](https://huggingface.co/papers/2010.11934) is a multilingual variant of [T5](./t5), training on 101 languages. It also incorporates a new "accidental translation" technique to prevent the model from incorrectly translating predictions into the wrong language.

You can find all the original [mT5] checkpoints under the [mT5](https://huggingface.co/collections/google/mt5-release-65005f1a520f8d7b4d039509) collection.

The example below demonstrates how to summarize text with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline), [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel), and from the command line.

```python
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="text2text-generation",
    model="csebuetnlp/mT5_multilingual_XLSum",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0
)
pipeline("""Plants are remarkable organisms that produce their own food using a method called photosynthesis.
This process involves converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose, which provides energy for growth.
Plants play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth by generating oxygen and serving as the foundation of most ecosystems.""")
```

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "csebuetnlp/mT5_multilingual_XLSum"
)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(
    "csebuetnlp/mT5_multilingual_XLSum",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

input_text = """Plants are remarkable organisms that produce their own food using a method called photosynthesis.
This process involves converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose, which provides energy for growth.
Plants play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth by generating oxygen and serving as the foundation of most ecosystems."""
input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**input_ids, cache_implementation="static")
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

```bash
echo -e "Plants are remarkable organisms that produce their own food using a method called photosynthesis." | transformers run --task text2text-generation --model csebuetnlp/mT5_multilingual_XLSum --device 0
```

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to only quantize the weights to int4.

```python
import torch
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4"
)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(
    "csebuetnlp/mT5_multilingual_XLSum",
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    quantization_config=quantization_config
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "csebuetnlp/mT5_multilingual_XLSum"
)
input_text = """Plants are remarkable organisms that produce their own food using a method called photosynthesis.
This process involves converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose, which provides energy for growth.
Plants play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth by generating oxygen and serving as the foundation of most ecosystems."""
input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**input_ids, cache_implementation="static")
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## Notes

- mT5 must be fine-tuned for downstream tasks because it was only pretrained on the [mc4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mc4) dataset.

## MT5Config[[transformers.MT5Config]]

#### transformers.MT5Config[[transformers.MT5Config]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.2.0/src/transformers/models/mt5/configuration_mt5.py#L23)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [MT5Model](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5Model). It is used to
instantiate a mT5 model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a
configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the mT5
[google/mt5-small](https://huggingface.co/google/mt5-small) architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information.

**Parameters:**

vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 250112) : Vocabulary size of the T5 model. Defines the number of different tokens that can be represented by the `inputs_ids` passed when calling [T5Model](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/t5#transformers.T5Model).

d_model (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 512) : Size of the encoder layers and the pooler layer.

d_kv (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 64) : Size of the key, query, value projections per attention head. In the conventional context, it is typically expected that `d_kv` has to be equal to `d_model // num_heads`. But in the architecture of mt5-small, `d_kv` is not equal to `d_model //num_heads`. The `inner_dim` of the projection layer will be defined as `num_heads * d_kv`.

d_ff (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1024) : Size of the intermediate feed forward layer in each `T5Block`.

num_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 8) : Number of hidden layers in the Transformer encoder.

num_decoder_layers (`int`, *optional*) : Number of hidden layers in the Transformer decoder. Will use the same value as `num_layers` if not set.

num_heads (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 6) : Number of attention heads for each attention layer in the Transformer encoder.

relative_attention_num_buckets (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 32) : The number of buckets to use for each attention layer.

relative_attention_max_distance (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 128) : The maximum distance of the longer sequences for the bucket separation.

dropout_rate (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.1) : The ratio for all dropout layers.

classifier_dropout (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0) : The dropout ratio for classifier.

layer_norm_eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-6) : The epsilon used by the layer normalization layers.

initializer_factor (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1) : A factor for initializing all weight matrices (should be kept to 1, used internally for initialization testing).

feed_forward_proj (`string`, *optional*, defaults to `"gated-gelu"`) : Type of feed forward layer to be used. Should be one of `"relu"` or `"gated-gelu"`.

use_cache (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) : Whether or not the model should return the last key/values attentions (not used by all models).

## MT5Model[[transformers.MT5Model]]

#### transformers.MT5Model[[transformers.MT5Model]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.2.0/src/transformers/models/mt5/modeling_mt5.py#L822)

The bare Mt5 Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. MT5 is a model with relative position embeddings so you
  should be able to pad the inputs on both the right and the left.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for detail.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)

  To know more on how to prepare `input_ids` for pretraining take a look a [MT5 Training](./mt5#training).
- **attention_mask** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **decoder_input_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are decoder input IDs?](../glossary#decoder-input-ids)

  MT5 uses the `pad_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values`
  is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`).

  To know more on how to prepare `decoder_input_ids` for pretraining take a look at [MT5
  Training](./mt5#training).
- **decoder_attention_mask** (`torch.BoolTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in `decoder_input_ids`. Causal mask will also
  be used by default.
- **encoder_outputs** (`tuple`, *optional*) --
  Tuple consists of (`last_hidden_state`, *optional*: `hidden_states`, *optional*: `attentions`)
  `last_hidden_state` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) is a sequence of
  hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **decoder_inputs_embeds** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded
  representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be
  input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert
  `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model's internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value
  of `inputs_embeds`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **output_attentions** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned
  tensors for more detail.
- **output_hidden_states** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for
  more detail.
- **return_dict** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return a [ModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.utils.ModelOutput) instead of a plain tuple.
- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.0[transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqModelOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqModelOutput) or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([MT5Config](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5Config)) and inputs.

- **last_hidden_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) -- Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the decoder of the model.

  If `past_key_values` is used only the last hidden-state of the sequences of shape `(batch_size, 1,
  hidden_size)` is output.
- **past_key_values** (`EncoderDecoderCache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [EncoderDecoderCache](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.EncoderDecoderCache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the decoder at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

  Attentions weights of the decoder, after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the
  self-attention heads.

  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights of the decoder's cross-attention layer, after the attention softmax, used to compute the

The [MT5Model](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5Model) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, MT5Model

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")
>>> model = MT5Model.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")

>>> input_ids = tokenizer(
...     "Studies have been shown that owning a dog is good for you", return_tensors="pt"
... ).input_ids  # Batch size 1
>>> decoder_input_ids = tokenizer("Studies show that", return_tensors="pt").input_ids  # Batch size 1

>>> # preprocess: Prepend decoder_input_ids with start token which is pad token for MT5Model.
>>> # This is not needed for torch's MT5ForConditionalGeneration as it does this internally using labels arg.
>>> decoder_input_ids = model._shift_right(decoder_input_ids)

>>> # forward pass
>>> outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, decoder_input_ids=decoder_input_ids)
>>> last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
```

  [What are decoder input IDs?](../glossary#decoder-input-ids)

  MT5 uses the `pad_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If `past_key_values`
  is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see `past_key_values`).

  To know more on how to prepare `decoder_input_ids` for pretraining take a look at [MT5
  Training](./mt5#training).
- **decoder_attention_mask** (`torch.BoolTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in `decoder_input_ids`. Causal mask will also
  be used by default.
- **encoder_outputs** (`tuple`, *optional*) --
  Tuple consists of (`last_hidden_state`, *optional*: `hidden_states`, *optional*: `attentions`)
  `last_hidden_state` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) is a sequence of
  hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **decoder_inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded
  representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be
  input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert
  `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model's internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value
  of `inputs_embeds`.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size,)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the sequence classification/regression loss. Indices should be in `[-100, 0, ...,
  config.vocab_size - 1]`. All labels set to `-100` are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for
  labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **output_attentions** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned
  tensors for more detail.
- **output_hidden_states** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for
  more detail.
- **return_dict** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return a [ModelOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.utils.ModelOutput) instead of a plain tuple.
- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.0[transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqLMOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqLMOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqLMOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqLMOutput) or a tuple of

elements depending on the configuration ([MT5Config](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5Config)) and inputs.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss.
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
- **past_key_values** (`EncoderDecoderCache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [EncoderDecoderCache](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.EncoderDecoderCache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

The [MT5ForConditionalGeneration](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5ForConditionalGeneration) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Examples:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, MT5ForConditionalGeneration

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")
>>> model = MT5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")

>>> # training
>>> input_ids = tokenizer("The  walks in  park", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
>>> labels = tokenizer(" cute dog  the ", return_tensors="pt").input_ids
>>> outputs = model(input_ids=input_ids, labels=labels)
>>> loss = outputs.loss
>>> logits = outputs.logits

>>> # inference
>>> input_ids = tokenizer(
...     "summarize: studies have shown that owning a dog is good for you", return_tensors="pt"
... ).input_ids  # Batch size 1
>>> outputs = model.generate(input_ids)
>>> print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

The [MT5ForSequenceClassification](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5ForSequenceClassification) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example of single-label classification:

```python
>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, MT5ForSequenceClassification

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")
>>> model = MT5ForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")

>>> with torch.no_grad():
...     logits = model(**inputs).logits

>>> predicted_class_id = logits.argmax().item()
>>> model.config.id2label[predicted_class_id]
...

>>> # To train a model on `num_labels` classes, you can pass `num_labels=num_labels` to `.from_pretrained(...)`
>>> num_labels = len(model.config.id2label)
>>> model = MT5ForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small", num_labels=num_labels)

>>> labels = torch.tensor([1])
>>> loss = model(**inputs, labels=labels).loss
>>> round(loss.item(), 2)
...
```

Example of multi-label classification:

```python
>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, MT5ForSequenceClassification

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")
>>> model = MT5ForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small", problem_type="multi_label_classification")

>>> inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")

>>> with torch.no_grad():
...     logits = model(**inputs).logits

>>> predicted_class_ids = torch.arange(0, logits.shape[-1])[torch.sigmoid(logits).squeeze(dim=0) > 0.5]

>>> # To train a model on `num_labels` classes, you can pass `num_labels=num_labels` to `.from_pretrained(...)`

```

The Mt5 transformer with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states
output) e.g. for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

The [MT5ForQuestionAnswering](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5ForQuestionAnswering) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, MT5ForQuestionAnswering
>>> import torch

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")
>>> model = MT5ForQuestionAnswering.from_pretrained("google/mt5-small")

>>> question, text = "Who was Jim Henson?", "Jim Henson was a nice puppet"

>>> inputs = tokenizer(question, text, return_tensors="pt")
>>> with torch.no_grad():
...     outputs = model(**inputs)

>>> answer_start_index = outputs.start_logits.argmax()
>>> answer_end_index = outputs.end_logits.argmax()

>>> predict_answer_tokens = inputs.input_ids[0, answer_start_index : answer_end_index + 1]
>>> tokenizer.decode(predict_answer_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
...

>>> # target is "nice puppet"
>>> target_start_index = torch.tensor([14])
>>> target_end_index = torch.tensor([15])

>>> outputs = model(**inputs, start_positions=target_start_index, end_positions=target_end_index)
>>> loss = outputs.loss
>>> round(loss.item(), 2)
...
```

**Parameters:**

config ([MT5Config](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/model_doc/mt5#transformers.MT5Config)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/v5.2.0/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.

**Returns:**
