	<span>Create a custom architecture
	</span></h1>

<p>An <a href="model_doc/auto"><code>AutoClass</code></a> automatically infers the model architecture and downloads pretrained configuration and weights. Generally, we recommend using an <code>AutoClass</code> to produce checkpoint-agnostic code. But users who want more control over specific model parameters can create a custom 🤗 Transformers model from just a few base classes. This could be particularly useful for anyone who is interested in studying, training or experimenting with a 🤗 Transformers model. In this guide, dive deeper into creating a custom model without an <code>AutoClass</code>. Learn how to:</p>
<ul><li>Load and customize a model configuration.</li>
<li>Create a model architecture.</li>
<li>Create a slow and fast tokenizer for text.</li>
<li>Create a feature extractor for audio or image tasks.</li>
<li>Create a processor for multimodal tasks.</li></ul>

	<span>Configuration
	</span></h2>

<p>A <a href="main_classes/configuration">configuration</a> refers to a model’s specific attributes. Each model configuration has different attributes; for instance, all NLP models have the <code>hidden_size</code>, <code>num_attention_heads</code>, <code>num_hidden_layers</code> and <code>vocab_size</code> attributes in common. These attributes specify the number of attention heads or hidden layers to construct a model with.</p>

<p>The next step is to create a <a href="main_classes/models">model</a>. The model - also loosely referred to as the architecture - defines what each layer is doing and what operations are happening. Attributes like <code>num_hidden_layers</code> from the configuration are used to define the architecture. Every model shares the base class <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel">PreTrainedModel</a> and a few common methods like resizing input embeddings and pruning self-attention heads. In addition, all models are also either a <a href="https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.Module.html" rel="nofollow"><code>torch.nn.Module</code></a>, <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model" rel="nofollow"><code>tf.keras.Model</code></a> or <a href="https://flax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/flax.linen.html#module" rel="nofollow"><code>flax.linen.Module</code></a> subclass. This means models are compatible with each of their respective framework’s usage.</p>

	<span>Model heads

<p>At this point, you have a base DistilBERT model which outputs the <em>hidden states</em>. The hidden states are passed as inputs to a model head to produce the final output. 🤗 Transformers provides a different model head for each task as long as a model supports the task (i.e., you can’t use DistilBERT for a sequence-to-sequence task like translation).</p>

<p>The last base class you need before using a model for textual data is a <a href="main_classes/tokenizer">tokenizer</a> to convert raw text to tensors. There are two types of tokenizers you can use with 🤗 Transformers:</p>
<ul><li><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizer">PreTrainedTokenizer</a>: a Python implementation of a tokenizer.</li>
<li><a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast">PreTrainedTokenizerFast</a>: a tokenizer from our Rust-based <a href="https://huggingface.co/docs/tokenizers/python/latest/" rel="nofollow">🤗 Tokenizer</a> library. This tokenizer type is significantly faster - especially during batch tokenization - due to it’s Rust implementation. The fast tokenizer also offers additional methods like <em>offset mapping</em> which maps tokens to their original words or characters.</li></ul>
<p>Both tokenizers support common methods such as encoding and decoding, adding new tokens, and managing special tokens.</p>

<p>It is important to remember the vocabulary from a custom tokenizer will be different from the vocabulary generated by a pretrained model’s tokenizer. You need to use a pretrained model’s vocabulary if you are using a pretrained model, otherwise the inputs won’t make sense.

	<span>Feature Extractor
	</span></h2>

<p>A feature extractor processes audio or image inputs. It inherits from the base <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/main_classes/feature_extractor#transformers.FeatureExtractionMixin">FeatureExtractionMixin</a> class, and may also inherit from the <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/main_classes/feature_extractor#transformers.ImageFeatureExtractionMixin">ImageFeatureExtractionMixin</a> class for processing image features or the <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/main_classes/feature_extractor#transformers.SequenceFeatureExtractor">SequenceFeatureExtractor</a> class for processing audio inputs.</p>
<p>Depending on whether you are working on an audio or vision task, create a feature extractor associated with the model you’re using. For example, create a default <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/model_doc/vit#transformers.ViTFeatureExtractor">ViTFeatureExtractor</a> if you are using <a href="model_doc/vit">ViT</a> for image classification:</p>

<p>For models that support multimodal tasks, 🤗 Transformers offers a processor class that conveniently wraps a feature extractor and tokenizer into a single object. For example, let’s use the <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_17170/en/model_doc/wav2vec2#transformers.Wav2Vec2Processor">Wav2Vec2Processor</a> for an automatic speech recognition task (ASR). ASR transcribes audio to text, so you will need a feature extractor and a tokenizer.</p>

<p>With two basic classes - configuration and model - and an additional preprocessing class (tokenizer, feature extractor, or processor), you can create any of the models supported by 🤗 Transformers. Each of these base classes are configurable, allowing you to use the specific attributes you want. You can easily setup a model for training or modify an existing pretrained model to fine-tune.</p>
