ByT5-XXL is an AI model developed by Google and Google Research (United States), first published in May 2021. It works in the language domain, on tasks such as language modeling.

Training it took an estimated 8.1×10²² FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting). The model has 12,900,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 1T datapoints. Training ran on Google TPU v3. The compute alone is estimated at $92K in 2023 dollars.

Access: Open weights (unrestricted). Its weights are openly available. The reference paper has 688 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as likely.
