IndicBERT v2 Shared Script

This 278M-parameter IndicBERT v2 release uses a distinct training configuration: Indic scripts are converted to Devanagari before masked-language training to increase lexical sharing.

The objective distinguishes this checkpoint

The model card links separate weights for the MLM, Samanantar, back-translation and shared-script experiments. These are training variants, not different service tiers.IndicBERT v2 Shared Script official model card

Control the downstream comparison

Practical guidance. Keep the script-conversion step in the evaluation. Comparing raw native-script input with a model trained on converted text would test the wrong pipeline.
