Your perplexity will be different, depending on the tokenizer, the vocab and the dataset. The better your tokenizer the worse your perplexity, actually.
Values in the table are perplexity on the validation set.

pip install awscli aws s3 sync --no-sign-request s3://models.dobro.ai/gpt2/ru/unfreeze_all gpt2Folders with s_ prefix contain Small (124M) model, m_ - for Medium (355M) model.
Download the models (intructions above), choose the model and put it in your output folder. Use validation set and be careful with overfitting. On small dataset it will overfit very fast - 3-7 epoch. Follow instructions below, except you don't need to train you tokenization dictionary, because you already have one.
I'd suggest that if you don't have a bunch of GPU's you should consider renting a Google TPU. On my Nvidia Titan RTX an epoch takes 70 minutes and the same epoch takes 12.5 minutes on TPU v3-8. I've used fp16 on GPU, but I can't use bfloat16 on TPU, because it's training poorly on bfloat16 at the moment (it could have been 8 minutes if implemented properly).
You can ask for access to Google's TensorFlow Research Cloud and use TPUs for free for one month.
In the process, I've switched tokenization library from SentencePiece to YTTM. YTTM is better (10% smaller files) and much faster. If you for some reason want to use SentencePiece then the code is here, just change the tokenizer in the command line.
First, the GPT-2 model will learn Russian on a huge dataset (230 GB), and then it will learn good Russian on the Russian classical literature (500 MB). I use progressive layer unfreezing to use transfer training. Validation set is the correspondence between Leo Tolstoy with young Mahatma Gandhi.

Mixed precision training with opt_level O2 gives the exact same loss but much faster and with less memory. The downside - APEX with O2 doesnt work with DataParallel yet, see NVIDIA/apex#227
