Hello

I am trying to finetune with Flax on TPU a mt5-small model on a summarization task, using the examples/flax/summarization/run_summarization_flax.py script. When I run the script, I get an error about the fact that shift_tokens_right is not defined for mt5 models:

``
File "/home/prod/transformers/examples/flax/summarization/run_summarization_flax.py", line 521, in main

shift_tokens_right_fn = getattr(model_module, "shift_tokens_right")

AttributeError: module 'transformers.models.mt5.modeling_flax_mt5' has no attribute 'shift_tokens_right' ``

Moreover, the current flax summarization script has a typo line 516 :

See https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/flax/summarization/run_summarization_flax.py#L516 : model_module = __import__(model.__module__, fromlist=["shift_tokens_tight"])

(tight should be right !)

I have been able to fix the issue by copying the function shift_tokens_right defined in src/transformers/models/t5/modeling_flax_mt5.py into the file src/transformers/models/mt5/modeling_flax_mt5.py . Now the Flax summarization script works fine.

Hope you can fix the mt5 code accordingly !

Good catch, thanks for opening the issue! Would you be interested to open a PR to add this function in flax mT5?

Hey Suraj,

Sure ! Will do it tomorrow and keep you posted. Thanks !

Also noticed that adafactor parameter is not used to instantiate the optimizer in the run_summarization_flax.py script. Will add it in my PR, to have support for both adamW and adafactor.

Ahh, Good catch! It would be better two open a new PR for this since these are two different changes.
