+### xVal - Continuous and Discrete
+
+<img src="./images/xval.png" width="400px"></img>
+
+This is promising work that resulted from the collaboration across many institutes (collectively known as Polymathic AI). They found that by offering a continuously scaled number token to the transformer, the transformer was able to generalize arithmetic and forecasting tasks better than the alternative encoding schemes.
+
+```python
+import torch
+
+from x_transformers import (
+    Decoder,
+    XValTransformerWrapper,
+    XValAutoregressiveWrapper
+)
+
+model = XValTransformerWrapper(
+    num_tokens = 4,
+    numerical_token_id = 3,

+        dim = 512,
+        depth = 12,
+        heads = 8
+    )
