Today, April 26, is the Day of the Tatar Language! 🌟
To celebrate, we release our new language model, Tweety Tatar 🐣

The model was converted from Mistral Instruct v0.2 using a novel technique called trans-tokenization. As a result, the model uses a brand-new tokenizer, fully tailored for the Tatar language.

We also release a model which can be finetuned for translation of English or Russian into Tatar, and achieves a performance similar to commercial offerings:

Since you guys used a new novel technique called trans-tokenization did you have to pre-trained it again from scratch

·

Not from scratch, as our technique perserves most of the model weights. But you have to continue pre-training to get most of the benefits, yes. You can read more about it in our preview paper.

We are in the process of releasing a library for replicating this easily, but are not ready to share this yet.
