LLM-jp ModernBERT Base

LLM-jp ModernBERT Base is a masked-language encoder trained on the 3.4 TB Japanese subset of llm-jp-corpus v4. It uses the project's tokenizer.

Longer context is a second training stage

The card describes 500,000 first-stage steps and 200,000 second-stage steps. Its examples load a masked-language model, and evaluation covers Japanese semantic similarity, inference and grammatical acceptability.LLM-jp ModernBERT Base official model card

Add the downstream task deliberately

Practical guidance. Use this model as an encoder foundation for further training. Do not assume that masked-language pretraining alone provides a ready-made semantic search or chat endpoint.
