# AutoDisProxyT-RTE for Distilling Massive Neural Networks

AutoDisProxyT is a distilled task-agnostic transformer model that leverages task transfer for learning a small universal model that can be applied to arbitrary tasks and languages as outlined in the paper [Few-shot Task-agnostic Neural Architecture Search for
Distilling Large Language Models](https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2022/file/b7c12689a89e98a61bcaa65285a41b7c-Paper-Conference.pdf).

This AutoDisProxyT checkpoint with **7** layers, **160** hidden size, **10** attention heads corresponds to **6.88 million** parameters and **0.27G** FLOPs.

The following table shows the results on GLUE dev set.
