Viking

Open 13B-parameter language model for Finnish, English, Scandinavian languages, and code.

Viking

Viking-13B is a decoder-only text-generation model from LumiOpen. It supports Finnish, English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and code, and is distributed as an Apache 2.0 model on Hugging Face.

The model can be loaded with Transformers or served locally with vLLM, SGLang, or Docker using an OpenAI-compatible API. It is a partially trained base model, so most applications require further fine-tuning. The weights are free; Hugging Face hosting, inference, storage, or compute may cost extra.

Features

  • Generates text in Finnish, English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic
  • Understands and generates code
  • 14B parameters with BF16 weights
  • Uses a custom 128K Bloom tokenizer
  • Supports Transformers pipelines and direct model loading
  • Can run with vLLM, SGLang, or Docker
  • Open source under the Apache 2.0 license
  • Provides training checkpoints from 100B to 2000B tokens

Use cases

  • Generate and continue text in Nordic and English languages
  • Prototype multilingual language-model applications
  • Translate basic content between supported Nordic languages
  • Generate or inspect code with a locally hosted model
  • Fine-tune a base model for specialized text-generation tasks
