+**2019, September 19th - Update:** We fixed bugs in the code and released an upadted version of the weights trained with a modification of the distillation loss. DistilBERT now reaches 97% of `BERT-base`'s performance on GLUE, and 86.9 F1 score on SQuAD v1.1 dev set (compared to 88.5 for `BERT-base`). We will publish a formal write-up of our approach in the near future!

 ## What is DistilBERT
 
-DistilBERT stands for Distillated-BERT. DistilBERT is a small, fast, cheap and light Transformer model based on Bert architecture. It has 40% less parameters than `bert-base-uncased`, runs 60% faster while preserving over 95% of Bert's performances as measured on the GLUE language understanding benchmark. DistilBERT is trained using knowledge distillation, a technique to compress a large model called the teacher into a smaller model called the student. By distillating Bert, we obtain a smaller Transformer model that bears a lot of similarities with the original BERT model while being lighter, smaller and faster to run. DistilBERT is thus an interesting option to put large-scaled trained Transformer model into production.

 Transformers includes two pre-trained DistilBERT models, currently only provided for English (we are investigating the possibility to train and release a multilingual version of DistilBERT):
 
 - `distilbert-base-uncased`: DistilBERT English language model pretrained on the same data used to pretrain Bert (concatenation of the Toronto Book Corpus and full English Wikipedia) using distillation with the supervision of the `bert-base-uncased` version of Bert. The model has 6 layers, 768 dimension and 12 heads, totalizing 66M parameters.
-- `distilbert-base-uncased-distilled-squad`: A finetuned version of `distilbert-base-uncased` finetuned using (a second step of) knwoledge distillation on SQuAD 1.0. This model reaches a F1 score of 86.2 on the dev set (for comparison, Bert `bert-base-uncased` version reaches a 88.5 F1 score).

 Using DistilBERT is very similar to using BERT. DistilBERT share the same tokenizer as BERT's `bert-base-uncased` even though we provide a link to this tokenizer under the `DistilBertTokenizer` name to have a consistent naming between the library models.
