I'm proud to share that at @inriaparisnlp.bsky.social we have released Gaperon — a suite of generative language models trained on French, English and code data, the largest of which has 24 billion parameters. Both the models and the code are being published under open licences. Short thread🧵
We are proud to announce that we trained 1.5B, 8B, and 24B generative language models from scratch on 2 to 4 tera-tokens of carefully curated, high-quality data covering French, English and code. We release our models and code under open-source licences. Thread👇

Our new paper, accepted for #CHR2025 combines literary history and computational modeling to trace how the figure of the detective evolves across 150 years of French fiction.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.
