krc_cyrl_full
Goldfish is a suite of monolingual language models trained for 350 languages. This model is the Karachay-Balkar (Cyrillic script) model trained on 21MB of data (all our data in the language), 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: 124770816
- Maximum sequence length: 512 tokens
- Training text data (raw): 39.22MB
- Training text data (byte premium scaled): 21.025MB
- Training tokens: 4627456 (x10 epochs)
- Vocabulary size: 50000
- Compute cost: 2.3609825427456e+16 FLOPs or ~2.2 NVIDIA A6000 GPU hours
