[Optimum Habana](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana) is the interface between the Hugging Face Transformers and Diffusers libraries and Habana's Gaudi processor (HPU).
It provides a set of tools enabling easy and fast model loading, training and inference on single- and multi-HPU settings for different downstream tasks.
Learn more about how to take advantage of the power of Habana HPUs to train and deploy Transformers and Diffusers models at [hf.co/hardware/habana](https://huggingface.co/hardware/habana).

## Bert Base model HPU configuration

This model only contains the `GaudiConfig` file for running the [bert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased) model on Habana's Gaudi processors (HPU).

**This model contains no model weights, only a GaudiConfig.**

This enables to specify:
- `use_fused_adam`: whether to use Habana's custom AdamW implementation
- `use_fused_clip_norm`: whether to use Habana's fused gradient norm clipping operator
- `use_torch_autocast`: whether to use Torch Autocast for managing mixed precision

## Usage

The model is instantiated the same way as in the Transformers library.
The only difference is that there are a few new training arguments specific to HPUs.\
It is strongly recommended to train this model doing bf16 mixed-precision training for optimal performance and accuracy.

```bash
python run_qa.py \
