Welcome to Boldt!
Boldt is a family of German language models developed by the Chair of Machine Learning @ Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. This organization hosts our models, datasets, and research artifacts related to the Boldt project.
Feel free to explore, download, and experiment with our latest releases! 🚀
🌟 The Boldt Model Family
Our models are trained on our German Dense-Core subset of FineWeb-2, utilizing a multi-epoch training recipe on high-quality data.
| Model | Parameters | Context Window | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boldt-DC-350M | 350M | 2048 | Ultra-lightweight base model for constrained environments. |
| Boldt-DC-1B | 1B | 2048 | Highly optimized 1B base model with top-tier German performance. |
| Boldt-1B | 1B | 4096 | Extended context and vocabulary, augmented with 6B tokens of high-quality German news data. |
| Boldt-1B-IT-Preview | 1B | 4096 | Instruction-tuned preview model for chat and zero-shot tasks. |
📊 Comparison
Boldt-1B compares favorably on German LLM benchmarks against other similarly-sized models:
It is even competitive with many larger (2B parameter) models. See our paper for the full evaluation.
