🇺🇦 Ukranian mGPT 1.3B

Language model for Ukranian. Model has 1.3B parameters as you can guess from it's name.

Ukranian belongs to Indo-European language family. It's a very melodic language with approximately 40 million speakers. Here are some facts about it:

1. One of the East Slavic languages, alongside Russian and Belarusian.
2. It is the official language of Ukraine and is written in a version of the Cyrillic script.
3. Ukrainian has a rich literary history, and despite political pressures, it has maintained a vibrant cultural presence, especially in poetry and music.

Technical details

It's one of the models derived from the base mGPT-XL (1.3B) model (see the list below) which was originally trained on the 61 languages from 25 language families using Wikipedia and C4 corpus.

We've found additional data for 23 languages most of which are considered as minor and decided to further tune the base model. Ukranian mGPT 1.3B was trained for another 10000 steps with batch_size=4 and context window of 2048 tokens on 1 A100.

Final perplexity for this model on validation is 7.1.
