Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number <extra_id_0>, Privet Drive, were <extra_id_1> to say that they were perfectly normal,
thank you <extra_id_2> much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything <extra_id_3>,
because they just didn’t <extra_id_4>.

<extra_id_0> hver uke samles Regjeringens medlemmer til Statsråd på
<extra_id_1>. Dette organet er øverste <extra_id_2> i Norge. For at møtet
skal være <extra_id_3>, må over halvparten av regjeringens <extra_id_4>
være til stede.

This is a pruned version of the ```google/mt5-large``` model. Here, the input and output embeddings are pruned to support a greatly reduced vocabulary.
The chosen vocabulary has 30K norwegian, english and special tokens, ~12% of the old size. This reduces the model size by roughly 37%.
The model is still OK on similar languages, like German and Danish, but very different languages like arabic are not a good fit anymore.
This model is intended as a starting point for finetuning mt5 for norwegian applications.
