# Qwen2 1.5B: Almost the Same Performance as ITALIA (iGenius) but 6 Times Smaller 🚀 |
|
|
|
### Model Overview |
|
|
|
**Model Name:** Qwen2 1.5B Fine-tuned for Italian Language |
|
**Version:** 1.5b |
|
**Model Type:** Language Model |
|
**Parameter Count:** 1.5 billion |
|
**Language:** Italian |
|
**Comparable Model:** [ITALIA by iGenius](https://huggingface.co/iGeniusAI) (9 billion parameters) |
|
|
|
### Model Description |
|
|
|
Qwen2 1.5B is a compact language model specifically fine-tuned for the Italian language. Despite its relatively small size of 1.5 billion parameters, Qwen2 1.5B demonstrates strong performance, nearly matching the capabilities of larger models, such as the **9 billion parameter ITALIA model by iGenius**. The fine-tuning process focused on optimizing the model for various language tasks in Italian, making it highly efficient and effective for Italian language applications. |
