Researchers present ELMOD, a 2.7B-parameter German language model trained on 55k H100 GPU hours using exclusively public data, targeting resource-constrained on-device deployment. The work introduces German-specific data preprocessing pipelines handling morphological variation, compounding, and orthographic conventions, plus a quality filtering and rephrasing step to improve instructional data quality. ELMOD claims state-of-the-art performance in the sub-3B size class for German, reportedly matching 7B-parameter models on German benchmarks.
