[FEATURE] GODEL support

[schneiderfelipe]

Hi @guillaume-be!

How hard would it be to add support for GODEL?

It is the natural successor to DialoGPT, so would it be of similar effort to #57?

Hello,

Looking at the GODEL codebase, it seems that the transformers's generate function is called directly on the input: https://github.com/microsoft/GODEL/blob/7e2c6bd13fe8a403955179022449a1c24077b471/GODEL/server.py#L75

The generate function in this crate aligns with the Python library, and should yield the same results. I expect the effort would be significantly lower than the original DialoGPT. It leverages T5 which is already implemented. The weights would have to be converted/uploaded to the Huggingface hub and T5 registered as an option for the dialogue pipeline.

Please let me know if you would be interested in taking this up and happy to provide guidance as needed.

Hey @guillaume-be, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately this is currently not within my reach (bandwidth) anymore. Sorry!
