## Runs On

What it takes to serve xtremedistil-l6-h256-zeroshot-v1.1-all-33 (13M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the [SAVRN Index](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus), read Oct 24, 2026.

## Model Card

By Moritz Borrett-Laurer (formerly Laurer), published under mit, revision c07f66d9cbf7.

This model was fine-tuned using the same pipeline as described in the model card for [MoritzLaurer/deberta-v3-large-zeroshot-v1.1-all-33](https://savrn.com/models/deberta-v3-large-zeroshot-v1-1-all-33) and in this [paper](https://savrn.com/papers/building-efficient-universal-classifiers-with-natural-language-inference).

The foundation model is [microsoft/xtremedistil-l6-h256-uncased](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/xtremedistil-l6-h256-uncased). The model only has 22 million backbone parameters and 30 million vocabulary parameters. The backbone parameters are the main parameters active during inference, providing a significant speedup over larger models. The model is 25 MB small.

This model was trained to provide a very small and highly efficient zeroshot option, especially for edge devices or in-browser use-cases with transformers.js.

### Usage and other details

For usage instructions and other details refer to this model card [MoritzLaurer/deberta-v3-large-zeroshot-v1.1-all-33](https://savrn.com/models/deberta-v3-large-zeroshot-v1-1-all-33) and this [paper](https://savrn.com/papers/building-efficient-universal-classifiers-with-natural-language-inference).

### Metrics:

I didn't not do zeroshot evaluation for this model to save time and compute. The table below shows standard accuracy for all datasets the model was trained on (note that the NLI datasets are binary).

General takeaway: the model is much more efficient than its larger sisters, but it performs less well.

distilbart-mnli is the distilled version of bart-large-mnli created using the No Teacher Distillation technique proposed for BART summarisation by Huggingface, here. We just copy alternating layers from bart-large-mnli and finetune more on the same data. This is a very simple and effective technique, as we can see the performance drop is very little. Detailed performace trade-offs will be posted in this sheet. If you want to train these models yourself, clone the distillbart-mnli repo and follow the steps below Clone and install transformers from source Download MNLI data Create student model Start fine-tuning You can find the logs of these trained models in this wandb project.
