We present a BERT-based language model called bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2, trained on the SQuAD2.0 dataset for extractive question answering. The model achieves high scores on exact match and F1 metrics.

You can use cURL or any other http client to run inferences:

```bash
curl -X POST \
    -d '{"question": "Who jumped?", "context": "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."}'  \
    -H "Authorization: bearer $(deepctl auth token)"  \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "answer": "fox",
  "score": 0.1803228110074997,
  "start": 16,
  "end": 19,
  "request_id": null,
  "inference_status": {
    "status": "unknown",
    "runtime_ms": 0,
    "cost": 0.0,
    "tokens_generated": 0,
    "tokens_input": 0
  }
}

```


You can use our command-line tool [deepctl](/docs/getting-started) to run
inferences:

```bash
deepctl infer \
    -m 'deepset/bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-squad2'  \
    -i 'question=Who jumped?'  \
    -i 'context=The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "answer": "fox",
  "score": 0.1803228110074997,
  "start": 16,
  "end": 19,
  "request_id": null,
  "inference_status": {
    "status": "unknown",
    "runtime_ms": 0,
    "cost": 0.0,
    "tokens_generated": 0,
    "tokens_input": 0
  }
}

```
