# FORK of FLAN-T5 XXL
> This is a fork of google/flan-t5-xxl implementing a custom `handler.py` as an example for how to use t5-11b with inference-endpoints on a single NVIDIA A10G.
You can deploy the flan-t5-xxl with a [1-click](https://ui.endpoints.huggingface.co/new?repository=philschmid/flan-t5-xxl-sharded-fp16).
Since we are using the "quantized" version, we can switch our instance type to **"GPU [medium] · 1x Nvidia A10G"**.

# TL;DR
If you already know T5, FLAN-T5 is just better at everything. For the same number of parameters, these models have been fine-tuned on more than 1000 additional tasks covering also more languages.
As mentioned in the first few lines of the abstract :
> Flan-PaLM 540B achieves state-of-the-art performance on several benchmarks, such as 75.2% on five-shot MMLU. We also publicly release Flan-T5 checkpoints,1 which achieve strong few-shot performance even compared to much larger models, such as PaLM 62B. Overall, instruction finetuning is a general method for improving the performance and usability of pretrained language models.
