Modified SmolLM2 with Bangla Tokenizer Support

This is a modified version of SmolLM2-135M that includes enhanced Bangla (Bengali) tokenizer support by merging tokens from TituLM.

Model Details

• Base Model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M
• Tokenizer Enhancement: Merged with TituLM Bangla tokenizer
• Original Vocabulary Size: 49,152
• Enhanced Vocabulary Size: 180,177
• Added Tokens: ~131,025 Bangla-specific tokens

Key Features

• ✅ Full SmolLM2-135M model architecture
• ✅ Enhanced Bangla tokenization support
• ✅ Backward compatible with original SmolLM2
• ✅ Improved performance on Bangla text

Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

# Load the modified model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("rnnandi/modified_smollm")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("rnnandi/modified_smollm")

# Test with Bangla text
text = "আমি বাংলায় গান গাই"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=50)
result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(result)

Training

This model was created by:

1. Merging TituLM Bangla tokenizer with SmolLM2 tokenizer
2. Resizing model embeddings to accommodate new vocabulary
3. Preserving original model weights and architecture
