Finnish ModernBERT Large

Finnish ModernBERT Large is a multilingual masked-language encoder with 401 million parameters. It uses a size-specific vocabulary and a 16,000-token configuration.

Training and configuration

Training covers Finnish, Swedish, English, code, Latin and Northern Sámi. The card reports 399.2 billion tokens. The card discusses 128K context as a theoretical extrapolation. The released configuration specifies 16,000 positions.Finnish ModernBERT Large: model card and weightsFinnish ModernBERT Large: released configuration

Checkpoint for continued training

finnish-modernbert-large-cpt is a downloadable checkpoint from before learning-rate decay. Its card reports 388.1 billion tokens and recommends it for continued pretraining. It is recorded here as a training-stage variant of this model, rather than another final release.Finnish ModernBERT Large: checkpoint for continued pretraining

Practical assessment

Practical guidance. Large uses wider token representations as well as more layers. Check memory on full documents, not only short sentences. A theoretical extension in context length does not establish reliable retrieval at that length.
