Difference between the two German models

[amy-cao]

Hi,

What's the difference between the two German models old and new?

Thanks!

Hi @amy-cao ,

the main difference is, that the bert-base-german-cased was trained by Deepset AI. You can find their great blog post, that described the model and training data here:

https://deepset.ai/german-bert

For training our German model we use a different corpus (and a different vocabulary size).

I did some comparisons in this repository :)

Please let me know if you have more questions!
