# Spanish GPT-2 trained on BETO's corpus (large_spanish_corpus)

# BERTIN
This is a Spanish GPT-2 model trained from scratch on the [large_spanish_corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/viewer/?dataset=large_spanish_corpus) aka BETO's corpus with [Flax](https://github.com/google/flax)
This is part of the
[Flax/Jax Community Week](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104), organised by [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/) and TPU usage sponsored by Google.
## Dataset
The dataset is about 20 GB. 95% of the data was used for training and the rest 5% for validation.

## Metrics (on evaluation dataset)

- Loss: 2.413
- Perplexity: 11.36
