german distilbert not available?

[datistiquo]

I try using the distilbert-base-german-cased

which is also listed here

https://huggingface.co/transformers/pretrained_models.html

but I get the message that this model is not avaiable. Seems also not here listed?

https://huggingface.co/models?filter=tf,de

Is this just currently the case?

[datistiquo]

Or is this model only available for pytorch and not TF?

^^ currently only the Pytorch weights, but you can load into TF pretty easily (follow the README/doc). If needed we can upload the converted TF weights (cc @stefan-it who I believe trained this model? This predates our user/organization namespaces)

And I've added a de language tag so that the model is discoverable via https://huggingface.co/models?filter=de&search=distilbert

Thanks for reporting!

Oh, we've an open issue regarding to the TF checkpoint 😅

dbmdz/berts#8

@julien-c could you convert the model and upload it (not sure if I've access to root S3), thanks ❤️

COuld you show me where I can read about htis? Cab just find from the getting stared tour:

bert_model = TFDistilBertModel.from_pretrained('distilbert-base-german-cased', from_tf=False)
...but this does not work...

from_pt=True?

Ok, great. So easy.^^
