# BERT Base model IPU config

This model contains just the `IPUConfig` files for running the BERT base model (e.g. [bert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased) or [bert-base-cased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-cased)) on Graphcore IPUs.

**This model contains no model weights, only an IPUConfig.** 

## Usage

```
from optimum.graphcore import IPUConfig
ipu_config = IPUConfig.from_pretrained("Graphcore/bert-base-ipu")
```
