🇹🇯 Tajik mGPT 1.3B

Language model for Tajik. Model has 1.3B parameters as you can guess from it's name.

Tajik belongs to Indo-European language family. It's a very fluid language with approximately 8.2 million speakers. Here are some facts about it:

1. It is a variety of Persian spoken in Tajikistan and parts of Afghanistan.
2. Unlike Persian in Iran, Tajik is written in the Cyrillic script due to Soviet influence.
3. The Pamiri languages of Tajikistans Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region are closely related to Tajik.

Technical details

It's one of the models derived from the base mGPT-XL (1.3B) 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. Tajik mGPT 1.3B was trained for another 50000 steps with batch_size=4 and context window of 2048 tokens on 1 A100.

Final perplexity for this model on validation is 6.52.
