# rugpt3large\_based\_on\_gpt2
The model architecture design, pretraining, and evaluation are documented in our preprint: [**A Family of Pretrained Transformer Language Models for Russian**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.10931).
The model was trained with sequence length 1024 using transformers lib by the [SberDevices](https://sberdevices.ru/) team on 80B tokens for 3 epochs. After that, the model was finetuned 1 epoch with sequence length 2048.
Total training time was around 14 days on 128 GPUs for 1024 context and a few days on 16 GPUs for 2048 context.
The final perplexity on the test set is `13.6`.
