krc_cyrl_10mb

Goldfish is a suite of monolingual language models trained for 350 languages. This model is the Karachay-Balkar (Cyrillic script) model trained on 10MB of data, after accounting for an estimated byte premium of 1.87; content-matched text in Karachay-Balkar takes on average 1.87x 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: krc_cyrl is an individual language code. It is not contained in any macrolanguage codes contained in Goldfish (for script cyrl).

All training and hyperparameter details are in our paper, Goldfish: Monolingual Language Models for 350 Languages (Chang et al., 2024).

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. For best results, make sure that [CLS] is prepended to your input sequence (see sample usage linked above)! Details for this model specifically:

  • Architecture: gpt2
  • Parameters: 39087104
  • Maximum sequence length: 512 tokens
  • Training text data (raw): 18.66MB
  • Training text data (byte premium scaled): 10.005MB
  • Training tokens: 2235904 (x10 epochs)
  • Vocabulary size: 50000
  • Compute cost: 1691178998169600.0 FLOPs or ~0.2 NVIDIA A6000 GPU hours
