### Reproduction

```python
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, T5Config, TFT5ForConditionalGeneration

distill_config = T5Config(d_model=256, d_kv = 32, d_ff=512, num_heads=4, decoder_start_token_id=0)
tf_model = TFT5ForConditionalGeneration(config=distill_config)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-small", padding='max_length', truncation=True)
inputs =  tokenizer("this is a random input", return_tensors="tf")['input_ids']

encoder_outputs = tf_model.encoder(inputs)
decoder_input_ids = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.asarray([[0]]).astype(np.int32))
output = tf_model.decoder(decoder_input_ids = decoder_input_ids, encoder_outputs=encoder_outputs.last_hidden_state)


```

Error:

```python

### Expected behavior

I am trying to convert a TFT5ForConditionalGeneration with custom config into a TFLite model, and as far as I see, implementing a greedy approach on my own seems faster, but if you know a more straightforward process, please let me know.

I am currently trying to generate the decoder output using the encoder output, which I will generate only the first time when I pass the entire sentence. And then, I tried to reuse this encoded vector for the rest of the greedy search as input for the decoder.
Without using an encoded vector, this gives me the required output:

```python
import tensorflow as tf
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, T5Config, TFT5ForConditionalGeneration, set_seed
set_seed(0)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-small", padding='max_length', truncation=True)
tf_model = TFT5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("t5-small")
inputs = tokenizer("i got permission to begin a start up company by my own..</s>",return_tensors='tf')
attn = inputs['attention_mask']

decoder_input = tf.zeros((1,1), dtype=tf.int64)
output = tf_model(input_ids=inputs['input_ids'], attention_mask = attn, decoder_input_ids=decoder_input).logits

print(tokenizer.batch_decode(output.numpy().argmax(-1).tolist()), output.numpy().argmax(-1).tolist())
```
Output:

`[''] [[3]]`

But I get a different answer when I try to use the encoded vector as below.

```python
import tensorflow as tf
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, T5Config, TFT5ForConditionalGeneration, set_seed
set_seed(0)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-small", padding='max_length', truncation=True)
tf_model = TFT5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("t5-small")
inputs = tokenizer("i got permission to begin a start up company by my own..</s>",return_tensors='tf')
attn = inputs['attention_mask']

encoder_outputs = tf_model.encoder(inputs['input_ids'], attention_mask = attn, return_dict = True)
output = tf_model.decoder(decoder_input, encoder_hidden_states=encoder_outputs.last_hidden_state).last_hidden_state

print(tokenizer.batch_decode(output.numpy().argmax(-1).tolist()), output.numpy().argmax(-1).tolist())
```
Output:

`['une'] [[245]]`<|||||>Hi @FrozenWolf-Cyber, thanks for raising this issue. 

This difference is arising because the two scripts are not equivalent. In the forward pass of the T5 model, the output of the decoder is passed to the language model head to produce the outputs - see the [relevant lines here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/t5/modeling_tf_t5.py#L1429-L1433). <|||||>@amyeroberts Thanks for replying,

I tried do:
```python
tf_model.lm_head(output[0])
```

But I seem to be getting the following error:

```
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
[<ipython-input-13-8324bea7f5ea>](https://localhost:8080/#) in <module>
----> 1 tf_model.lm_head(output[0])
AttributeError: 'TFT5ForConditionalGeneration' object has no attribute 'lm_head'
```

<|||||>This is because, for the `"t5-small"` checkpoint config, `tie_word_embeddings==True`. In this case, there isn't a `lm_head` layer, and instead the shared weights are used. The relevant lines [are here.](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/t5/modeling_tf_t5.py#L1430-L1431) <|||||>```python
import tensorflow as tf
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, T5Config, TFT5ForConditionalGeneration, set_seed
set_seed(0)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-small", padding='max_length', truncation=True)
tf_model = TFT5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("t5-small")
inputs = tokenizer("i got permission to begin a start up company by my own..</s>",return_tensors='tf')
attn = inputs['attention_mask']

encoder_outputs = tf_model.encoder(inputs['input_ids'], attention_mask = attn)
decoder_input = tf.zeros((1,1), dtype=tf.int64)
sequence_output = tf_model.decoder(decoder_input, encoder_hidden_states=encoder_outputs[0])[0]
sequence_output = sequence_output * (tf_model.model_dim**-0.5)
logits = tf.matmul(sequence_output, tf_model.shared.weights, transpose_b=True)

print(tokenizer.batch_decode(logits.numpy().argmax(-1).tolist()))
```

@amyeroberts  Thank you very much this code works now :)
