Finnish ModernBERT Tiny

Finnish ModernBERT Tiny is a multilingual masked-language encoder with 51 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 447.9 billion tokens. The card discusses 128K context as a theoretical extrapolation. The released configuration specifies 16,000 positions.Finnish ModernBERT Tiny: model card and weightsFinnish ModernBERT Tiny: released configuration

Checkpoint for continued training

finnish-modernbert-tiny-cpt is a downloadable checkpoint from before learning-rate decay. Its card reports 429.9 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 Tiny: checkpoint for continued pretraining

Practical assessment

Practical guidance. Tiny has the fewest layers in this group. It is a useful starting point when model memory matters. Compare its task errors with Base before increasing capacity, and use the tokenizer released with this exact size.
