10.48550/arXiv.2603.26511An open-source LLM specifically trained for European Portuguese, offering superior performance on native tasks and a new suite of pt-PT benchmarks.
Abstract
Despite rapid progress in open large language models (LLMs), European Portuguese (pt-PT) remains underrepresented in both training data and native evaluation, with machine-translated benchmarks likely missing the variant's linguistic and cultural nuances. We introduce AMALIA, a fully open LLM that prioritizes pt-PT by using more high-quality pt-PT data during both the mid- and post-training stages. To evaluate pt-PT more faithfully, we release a suite of pt-PT benchmarks that includes translated standard tasks and four new datasets targeting pt-PT generation, linguistic competence, and pt-PT/pt-BR bias. Experiments show that AMALIA matches strong baselines on translated benchmarks while substantially improving performance on pt-PT-specific evaluations, supporting the case for targeted training and native benchmarking for European Portuguese.

A Fully Open Source Large Language Model for European Portuguese
This is explicitly stated in the title and abstract.
partial
AMALIA, a fully open LLM that prioritizes pt-PT by using more high-quality pt-PT data during both the mid- and post-training stages.
This is directly stated in the abstract and elaborated in the introduction.
partial
To evaluate pt-PT more faithfully, we release a suite of pt-PT benchmarks that includes translated standard tasks and four new datasets targeting pt-PT generation, linguistic competence, and pt-PT/pt-BR bias.
This is clearly stated in the abstract and introduction.
partial
Experiments show that AMALIA matches strong baselines on translated benchmarks while substantially improving performance on pt-PT-specific evaluations
This is a key finding reported in the abstract and introduction.
partial
We leveraged Arquivo.pt, the Portuguese Web Archive,2 as a primary source for this data.
This is explicitly mentioned in the data collection section.
partial
The model was then pretrained on this data and post-trained on specific datasets for instruction following, conversational reasoning, and problem solving.
This is described as the process of creating AMALIA in the introduction.
partial
While this strategy led to overall performance improvements, it resulted in declines in mathematical reasoning and instruction following.
This describes a specific experimental strategy and its outcome, as detailed in the analysis excerpt.
