The paper introduces Poro 34B, a 34 billion parameter multilingual language model trained on 1 trillion tokens of Finnish, English, and programming languages. The model demonstrates significant improvements over existing monolingual models for Finnish, and excels in translation and code generation. The model is trained using a combination of Finnish web crawls, English data from SlimPajama and Project Gutenberg, and programming language data from Starcoder. A cross-lingual signal is introduced through translation pairs from Tatoeba. The model is trained for four epochs over Finnish data, with additional English and programming language data. The model's tokenizer is a custom byte-level BPE tokenizer, and the model is trained on the LUMI supercomputer using the Megatron-DeepSpeed fork. The model's performance is evaluated on Finnish, English, and code tasks, showing strong results in translation and code generation. The model's performance is compared to other large language models, including Llama 33B, MPT 30B, and Falcon 40B. The model's performance is also evaluated on open-ended generation tasks, showing strong results in Finnish text generation. The model's performance is also evaluated on translation tasks, showing strong results in both English to Finnish and Finnish to English translation. The model's performance is also evaluated on benchmark tasks, showing strong results in Finnish, English, and code tasks. The model's performance is also evaluated on the FIN-bench dataset, showing strong results in Finnish tasks. The model's performance is also evaluated on the Bigcode Evaluation Harness, showing strong results in code generation. The model's performance is also evaluated on the Tatoeba Challenge test sets, showing strong results in translation tasks. The model's performance is also evaluated on the Flores-101 devtest data, showing strong results in translation tasks. The model's performance is also evaluated on the LM Eval Harness, showing strong results in English language tasks.
