Hello, out of curiosity (while I understand it may not be tested), would this in theory be able to support training/fine-tuning for models built on top of t5x like Flan-UL2?

I guess yes, as it is simply a t5x model with specific config?

@jon-chuang Yes, I believe that's correct given my understanding of the followup architectures to T5: UL2/Flan-T5/Flan-UL2. As long as the core model is the same and only the objective/inputs&targets change, those finetunings should also benefit.
