| # alt_cyrl_full |
|
|
| Goldfish is a suite of monolingual language models trained for 350 languages. |
| This model is the <b>Southern Altai</b> (Cyrillic script) model trained on 11MB of data (all our data in the language), after accounting for an estimated byte premium of 1.86; content-matched text in Southern Altai takes on average 1.86x 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: alt_cyrl is an [individual language](https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/639/data) 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)](https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2408.10441). |

| ## 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)! |
