HPLT/NorOLMo-13B

NorOLMo

This is a base (not instruction-tuned) large language model, continually pre-trained on Norwegian data starting from the English OLMo2-13B model.

The model was trained for 33 000 steps on around 275 billion tokens. Intermediate checkpoints are published here as branches.

Data Details

Stage 1 (24 000 steps -- 200B tokens)

Data

• HPLTv3 Bokmål, Nynorsk, Faroese, Icelandic, Danish, Swedish
• FinePDFs Bokmål, Nynorsk, Faroese, Icelandic, Danish, Swedish
• OLMo-Mix
• Northern Sami (cis-lmu/Glot500, ltg/saami-web, SIKOR North Saami corpus)

The number of documents represents the total unique number of documents, not the documents used during training.

We only took a portion of OLMo-Mix as our unique data.
