+# LongT5 (transient-global attention, XL-sized model)
+
+LongT5 model pre-trained on English language. The model was introduced in the paper [LongT5: Efficient Text-To-Text Transformer for Long Sequences](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.07916.pdf) by Guo et al. and first released in [the LongT5 repository](https://github.com/google-research/longt5). All the model architecture and configuration can be found in [Flaxformer repository](https://github.com/google/flaxformer) which uses another Google research project repository [T5x](https://github.com/google-research/t5x).
+
+Disclaimer: The team releasing LongT5 did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.
+
+## Model description
+LongT5 model is an encoder-decoder transformer pre-trained in a text-to-text denoising generative setting ([Pegasus-like generation pre-training](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.08777.pdf)). LongT5 model is an extension of [T5 model](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10683.pdf), and it enables using one of the two different efficient attention mechanisms - (1) Local attention, or (2) Transient-Global attention. The usage of attention sparsity patterns allows the model to efficiently handle input sequence.
+
+LongT5 is particularly effective when fine-tuned for text generation (summarization, question answering) which requires handling long input sequences (up to 16,384 tokens).
+
+
+## Intended uses & limitations
+
+The model is mostly meant to be fine-tuned on a supervised dataset. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=longt5) to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
+
+### How to use
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, LongT5Model
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/LongT5-TGlobal-XL")
+model = LongT5Model.from_pretrained("google/LongT5-TGlobal-XL")
+
+inputs = tokenizer("Hello, my dog is cute", return_tensors="pt")
+outputs = model(**inputs)
+
+last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
