# iso_latn_full
Goldfish is a suite of monolingual language models trained for 350 languages.
This model is the <b>Isoko</b> (Latin script) model trained on 8MB of data (all our data in the language), after accounting for an estimated byte premium of 1.48; content-matched text in Isoko takes on average 1.48x as many UTF-8 bytes to encode as English.
The Goldfish models are trained primarily for comparability across languages and for low-resource languages; Goldfish performance for high-resource languages is not designed to be comparable with modern large language models (LLMs).
Note: iso_latn is an [individual language](https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/639/data) code. It is not contained in any macrolanguage codes contained in Goldfish (for script latn).
All training and hyperparameter details are in our paper, [Goldfish: Monolingual Language Models for 350 Languages (Chang et al., 2024)](https://github.com/tylerachang/goldfish/blob/main/goldfish_paper_20240815.pdf).
Training code and sample usage: https://github.com/tylerachang/goldfish
Sample usage also in this Google Colab: [link](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1rHFpnQsyXJ32ONwCosWZ7frjOYjbGCXG?usp=sharing)
## Model details:
To access all Goldfish model details programmatically, see https://github.com/tylerachang/goldfish/blob/main/model_details.json.
All models are trained with a [CLS] (same as [BOS]) token prepended, and a [SEP] (same as [EOS]) token separating sequences.
Details for this model specifically:
* Architecture: gpt2
* Parameters: 109042176
* Maximum sequence length: 512 tokens
* Training text data (raw): 12.03MB
* Training text data (byte premium scaled): 8.115MB
* Training tokens: 2638336 (x10 epochs)
* Vocabulary size: 29138
* Compute cost: 1.3456800940032e+16 FLOPs or ~1.3 NVIDIA A6000 GPU hours
Training datasets (percentages prior to deduplication):
* 100.00000%: [MADLAD-400 (CommonCrawl)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/MADLAD-400)
