+This repository presents a Token Dropping BERT model that was pretrained on the 10BT subsets of [FineWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb) and [FineWeb-Edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu).
+# Pretraining Details
+The released BERT model is part of my [TensorFlow Model Garden LMs](https://github.com/stefan-it/model-garden-lms/tree/main) project.
+The pretraining was done on a v3-32 TPU VM Pod, provided by the amazing [TRC program](https://sites.research.google/trc/about/). Detailed cheatsheets are available:
+* [TPU VM Setup](https://github.com/stefan-it/model-garden-lms/tree/main/cheatsheet)
+* [Pretraining a Token Dropping BERT Model with TensorFlow Model Garden Library](https://github.com/stefan-it/model-garden-lms/blob/main/token-dropping-bert)
+tl;dr: The model was pretrained for 1M steps with a global batch size of 512, a sequence length of 512 using a vocab size of 64k.
+# Checkpoint Evaluation with ScandEval
+We evaluate the last 5 checkpoints (1M, 951k, 901k, 851k and 851k) with a recent version of ScandEval to check their performance and also compare it with popular encoder-only models such as BERT, RoBERTa or ELECTRA:
