  # Spanish GPT-2 trained on [large_spanish_corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/viewer/?dataset=large_spanish_corpus)
  
  This is a Spanish GPT-2 model trained from scratch on the [large_spanish_corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/viewer/?dataset=large_spanish_corpus) aka BETO's corpus with [Flax](https://github.com/google/flax)
  This is part of the
  [Flax/Jax Community Week](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104), organised by [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/) and TPU usage sponsored by Google.
  ## Dataset
  The dataset is about 20 GB. 95% of the data was used for training and the rest 5% for validation.
  
  ## Metrics (on evaluation dataset)
  
  - Loss: 2.413
  - Perplexity: 11.36
