guj_gujr_100mb

Goldfish is a suite of monolingual language models trained for 350 languages. This model is the <b>Gujarati</b> (Gujarati script) model trained on 100MB of data, after accounting for an estimated byte premium of 2.16; content-matched text in Gujarati takes on average 2.16x 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: This language is available in Goldfish with other scripts (writing systems). See: guj_latn.

Note: guj_gujr is an individual language code. It is not contained in any macrolanguage codes contained in Goldfish (for script gujr).

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:
