# XLM-RoBERTa

[XLM-RoBERTa](https://huggingface.co/papers/1911.02116) is a large multilingual masked language model trained on 2.5TB of filtered CommonCrawl data across 100 languages. It shows that scaling the model provides strong performance gains on high-resource and low-resource languages. The model uses the [RoBERTa](./roberta) pretraining objectives on the [XLM](./xlm) model.

You can find all the original XLM-RoBERTa checkpoints under the [Facebook AI community](https://huggingface.co/FacebookAI) organization.

> [!TIP]
> Click on the XLM-RoBERTa models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply XLM-RoBERTa to different cross-lingual tasks like classification, translation, and question answering.

The example below demonstrates how to predict the `<mask>` token with [`Pipeline`], [`AutoModel`], and from the command line.

<hfoptions id="usage">
<hfoption id="Pipeline">

```python
from transformers import pipeline


pipeline = pipeline(
    task="fill-mask",
    model="FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base",
    device=0
)
# Example in French
pipeline("Bonjour, je suis un modèle <mask>.")
```

</hfoption>
<hfoption id="AutoModel">

```python
import torch

from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer


tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base"
)
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(
    "FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base",
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="sdpa"
)

# Prepare input
inputs = tokenizer("Bonjour, je suis un modèle <mask>.", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    predictions = outputs.logits

masked_index = torch.where(inputs['input_ids'] == tokenizer.mask_token_id)[1]
predicted_token_id = predictions[0, masked_index].argmax(dim=-1)
predicted_token = tokenizer.decode(predicted_token_id)

print(f"The predicted token is: {predicted_token}")
```

</hfoption>
</hfoptions>

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [quantization guide](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to quantize the weights to 4 bits

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(
    load_in_4bit=True,
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=torch.bfloat16
    bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4",  # or "fp4" for float 4-bit quantization
    bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,  # use double quantization for better performance
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/xlm-roberta-large")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(
    "facebook/xlm-roberta-large",
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    quantization_config=quantization_config
)

inputs = tokenizer("Bonjour, je suis un modèle <mask>.", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## Notes

- Unlike some XLM models, XLM-RoBERTa doesn't require `lang` tensors to understand what language is being used. It automatically determines the language from the input IDs
