What is Cadet-Medium?

Inspired by Allen AI's Cosmo-XL, Cadet-Medium is a somewhat small conversational model trained off of the SODA dataset. Cadet-Medium is intended for inference at the edge (on something as small as a 2GB RAM Raspberry Pi).

Cadet-Medium is trained off of the t5-base pretrained model from Google.

Google Colab Link

Here is the link to the Google Colab file, where I walk through the process of training the model and using the SODA public dataset from AI2.

Get Started With Cadet-Medium

Use the code snippet below to get started with Cadet-Medium!
