# BafoGPT-3B

This is gemma2-2b-base model continued-pretraining on the [ChallengerSpaceShuttle/zulu-pretraining-dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ChallengerSpaceShuttle/zulu-pretraining-dataset) dataset. 

This is the first iteration, on building IsiZulu models that can attain performance comparable to models that typically require millions of dollars to train from scratch.

## 🔍 Applications

This is the base model and has a context length of 8k. It can generate coherent Zulu text, one can finetune it based on instruction datasets.

## ⚡ Quantized models

## 🏆 Evaluation

## 🧩 Configuration
