Moreover, their large embedding and output matrices increase memory usage and slow inference, notably for small-scale models. It is also wasteful as models are often used for only a subset of languages. To address these issues, we introduce a modular framework for multilingual model training. First, we propose methods to learn large modular BPE and Unigram tokenizers that enable extraction of subtokenizers tailored to any language subset. These subtokenizers achieve compression on par with monolingual tokenizers and improve cross-lingual fairness. Second, we design a pretraini
