+# Donut (base-sized model, pre-trained only) 
+
+Donut model pre-trained-only. It was introduced in the paper [OCR-free Document Understanding Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.15664) by Geewok et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/clovaai/donut).
+Disclaimer: The team releasing Donut did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.
+
+## Model description
+
+Donut consists of a vision encoder (Swin Transformer) and a text decoder (BART). Given an image, the encoder first encodes the image into a tensor of embeddings (of shape batch_size, seq_len, hidden_size), after which the decoder autoregressively generates text, conditioned on the encoding of the encoder. 
+
+## Intended uses & limitations
+
+You can use the raw model for image classification. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=google/vit) to look for
+fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
+
+### How to use
+
+We refer to the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/donut) which includes code examples.
