Restricted access

Model and training

The target-language vocabulary reduces the embedding layer, producing the smaller FLOR size. BSC reports 26 billion additional training tokens. This is a base completion model. Its card marks it as deprecated and unsupported; the repository still offers weights after acceptance of access conditions. BSC states Apache 2.0 terms.FLOR 1.3B: official model card

Practical use

Practical guidance. Use the model as a historical reference for compact multilingual generation. Keep an instructed variant separate when measuring prompt compliance. Download conditions and discontinued support do not mean the weights have vanished, but they are practical differences from an actively maintained unrestricted repository.
