## RoBERTa in Swahili
This model was trained using HuggingFace's Flax framework and is part of the [JAX/Flax Community Week](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104) organized by [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co). All training was done on a TPUv3-8 VM sponsored by the Google Cloud team.
## How to use
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("flax-community/roberta-swahili")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("flax-community/roberta-swahili")
print(round((model.num_parameters())/(1000*1000)),"Million Parameters")
105 Million Parameters
```
