Fast usage with pipelines:

from transformers import pipeline

qa_pipeline = pipeline(
    "question-answering",
    model="mrm8488/spanbert-large-finetuned-squadv1",
    tokenizer="SpanBERT/spanbert-large-cased"
)

qa_pipeline({
    'context': "Manuel Romero has been working very hard in the repository hugginface/transformers lately",
    'question': "How has been working Manuel Romero lately?"
