## Using DUO
To use the pre-trained model for masked language modeling, use the following snippet:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer

# See the `MDLM` collection page on the hub for list of available models.
tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('gpt2')
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('s-sahoo/duo')
```
For a hands-on example, check out this [Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Sf7R-dqdR6gq-H8nyZ9E3ZkyvqMTqcwq?usp=sharing).
For more information and implementation details, visit our github repository: [DUO](https://github.com/s-sahoo/duo) and project page: [Project Page](https://s-sahoo.com/duo)

## Model Details
The model, which has a context length of `1024` and is similar in size to GPT2-medium with approximately `130 million` non-embedding parameters,
was trained for 1M steps on the OpenWebText corpus.
