Welcome to the fascinating world of Fietje 2, an efficient large language model (LLM) tailored for Dutch text generation! In this blog, we will delve into its capabilities, training methodologies, and how you can get started with it.
What is Fietje 2?
Fietje 2 is an adaptation of the microsoftphi-2 model, specifically tuned for Dutch text generation. With 2.7 billion parameters and trained on an impressive 28 billion Dutch tokens, Fietje is designed to compete with larger models in the same language space without the hefty resource requirements.
Key Features
- Efficient model size (2.7B parameters)
- High versatility in text generation tasks
- Trained using extensive Dutch datasets like CulturaX and Wikipedia
- Compatible with various frameworks like Transformers and Pytorch

Understanding the Training Process
Imagine training Fietje 2 like teaching a child to read. You start with a vast library (28B tokens worth of text) and dedicate two weeks of focused study (training). In this case, the computational power was provided by the Flemish Supercomputer Center, utilizing multiple cutting-edge GPUs.
During its “study,” Fietje absorbed knowledge, which is akin to a child absorbing language from books, guiding it to become proficient in generating coherent and contextually relevant text.
Training Hyperparameters
The training was fine-tuned using specific parameters to optimize performance. Here’s an overview:
- Learning Rate: 9e-05
- Batch Sizes: train (40), eval (40)
- Number of Epochs: 1.0
- Optimizer: Adam with specified betas and epsilon
- Scheduler Type: Linear
Potential Limitations
Keep in mind that just like a child might misinterpret complex texts, Fietje, like many LLMs, can occasionally produce inaccurate results or “hallucinate” information. Therefore, it’s essential to use this model thoughtfully and verify outputs for critical applications.
Troubleshooting Guide
If you encounter issues while using Fietje 2, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure your environment meets the software versions: Transformers 4.39.1, Pytorch 2.1.2+cu121, etc.
- Check connectivity to the model’s hosting platform.
- Refer to the Github repository for more detailed documentation and common pitfalls.
