Google Research's repository for generating the FLAN instruction tuning dataset collections, including the original Flan 2021 and the expanded Flan Collection used to train Flan-T5 and Flan-PaLM. It provides Python/SeqIO code to produce instruction tuning mixtures from many NLP tasks.

Use cases

• generate instruction tuning data for fine-tuning LLMs
• reproduce the Flan 2021 SeqIO mixtures
• build the Flan Collection for training models like Flan-T5
• research zero-shot generalization of finetuned language models
• mix diverse NLP task datasets for prompt-based training

When to choose

• you need the canonical FLAN instruction tuning datasets for LLM training
• you use SeqIO/T5X and want reproducible Flan mixtures
• you are researching instruction tuning or zero-shot prompting

When to avoid

• you want a ready-to-download dataset rather than generation code
• you need a general-purpose ML framework unrelated to instruction tuning
• you want inference or serving tools for Flan models
