Encoder only version of the [ANKH base model](https://huggingface.co/ElnaggarLab/ankh-base) ([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.06568)). The encoder only version is ideal for protein representation tasks.

## To download
```python
from transformers import T5EncoderModel, AutoTokenizer

model_path = 'Synthyra/ANKH_base'
model = T5EncoderModel.from_pretrained(model_path)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
```

We are working on implementing a version of T5 based PLMs with [Flex attention](https://pytorch.org/blog/flexattention/) once learned relative position bias is supported (used in T5). Stay tuned.
