Poro 34B
The open 34B foundation model built for Finnish, English, and code.
About
Released in 2024 by Silo AI with the University of Turku's TurkuNLP group and HPLT, Poro 34B is a 34-billion-parameter open foundation model trained on 1 trillion tokens of Finnish, English, and code (129B Finnish tokens). It set best-in-class results for Finnish among open models while staying competitive with Llama 33B in English, and its English-Finnish translation reportedly matched dedicated translation systems and Google Translate.
Limitations: as a base foundation model it needs fine-tuning or careful prompting for production use; Finnish instruction data is scarce relative to English.
