LLM-jp-3 1.8B Base

LLM-jp-3 1.8B Base is the 1.8B pretrained text model in LLM-jp's generation-3 size series. The underlying model was exposed to 2.1 trillion pretraining tokens.

Research release

The size changes the architecture

The 24-layer architecture has hidden width 2,048 and 16 attention heads. Pretraining includes Japanese web and archive material, English Dolma sources and code from The Stack.LLM-jp-3 1.8B Base official model card

Use the size as an experimental control

Practical guidance. This size offers a useful boundary between the sub-billion models and the larger dense releases. Keep corpus and tuning choices fixed in scaling comparisons.

Sparse autoencoders support separate research

The project also publishes TopK sparse autoencoders trained on LLM-jp-3 1.8B. The named checkpoint series uses the prefix llm-jp-3-1.8b-sae-l12-k32-16x and suffixes c10, c100, c1000, c10000, c100000 and c988240. These are interpretability components, not replacement text-generation checkpoints.LLM-jp-3 1.8B sparse autoencoder component
