Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited flexibility due to static inference optimization

   The model is optimized for static inference with INT8 precision, which may limit its adaptability for dynamic or real-time applications.

2. 02

   Potential accuracy trade-offs with INT8 precision

   While INT8 optimization improves efficiency, it can introduce quantization errors that affect the model's performance on nuanced question-answering tasks.

3. 03

   Narrow focus limits general NLP capabilities

   The model is fine-tuned specifically for SQuAD dataset, which may limit its effectiveness in other NLP tasks beyond the scope of question-answering on similar datasets.

4. 04

   Requires specific hardware support for INT8 inference

   Efficient operation with INT8 precision might require specialized hardware or specific versions of libraries that support this level of optimization, limiting its usability across different environments.
