3. It has a strong cultural connection with literature and folklore.

## Technical details

It's one of the models derived from the base [mGPT-XL (1.3B)](https://huggingface.co/ai-forever/mGPT) model (see the list below) which was originally trained on the 61 languages from 25 language families using Wikipedia and C4 corpus.

We've found additional data for 23 languages most of which are considered as minor and decided to further tune the base model. **Belorussian mGPT 1.3B** was trained for another 10000 steps with batch_size=4 and context window of **2048** tokens on 1 A100.

Final perplexity for this model on validation is **27.65**.
