+# byt5-large-wmt14-deen
+
+This model is released as part of the work from [Are Character-level Translations Worth the Wait? Comparing Character- and Subword-level Models for Machine Translation](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.14220).
+It is a ByT5 model finetuned on German-->English translation the WMT14 dataset. 
+
+To use the model correctly, you must prepend the prompt with "translate X to Y: ", where X and Y are your source and target languages (e.g. German, English).
+
+
+NOTE: The decoder_start_token_id is 259 for byt5 models and 250099 for mt5 models, which is different from the default token from google's byt5 and mt5 models (which is 0).
