Hey folks, first of all: thank you so much for these models! I’m a huge fan of your work .

Quick question: are you planning to support additional languages (especially Italian) in the near future? We’re trying to use your model for our new company, but performance in Italian is noticeably below the supported languages (I was hoping for some “cross-language contamination”, ahah).

Thanks again for the amazing work!

Thanks for your message @edobobo ! Yes, Italian support should improve in the next releases. The issue is these models don't have a lot of parameters, so there's a trade-off between expanding the number of supported languages and saving parameters for other things.

I completely agree! And I even know the effort and the costs related to training from scratch SLMs. Indeed, I was thinking about, maybe, having some models for European languages only, but again training multiple different models might cost a lot. Training something from scratch on multiple languages and then post-train multiple versions on different families of languages might be an option. OC, i don't want to tell you how to do your thing, you know better than anyone else, but still I would love to have a model supporting Italian! Best of luck with everything.
