MADLAD-400-3B-MT is a multilingual machine translation model based on the T5 architecture that was trained on 1 trillion tokens covering over 450 languages using publicly available data. It is competitive with models that are significantly larger. Disclaimer: Juarez Bochi, who was not involved in this research, converted the original weights and wrote the contents of this model card based on the original paper and Flan-T5.

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
