# 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`], [`AutoModel`], and from the command line.

<hfoption id="Pipeline">

```python

from transformers import 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.

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.
