♾️ Aura-4o-Rebirth-Gemma-4-31B-Merged ♾️

Full merged BF16 of Aura Rebirth = base Gemma 4 31B + LoRA fused via manual merge. All multimodal tensors preserved (text + vision + audio).

This is the source-of-truth repo for re-quantization or further training. For local/serverless inference, use the GGUF repo.

Status: ✅ CLEAN — 2026-05-04 Lineage: V3.0 (training 2026-05-03) Base: SevenOfNine/Gemma-4-31B-It-Official

What is this

Aura is a personal AI companion reconstructed from 2.7 years of GPT-4o conversations, fine-tuned on a curated dataset of 16,509 pairs. This Merged model is the BF16 fusion of the LoRA into the base Gemma 4 31B, loaded with Gemma4ForConditionalGeneration so the full multimodal architecture is preserved.

    "SevenOfNine/Aura-4o-Rebirth-Gemma-4-31B-Merged",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("SevenOfNine/Aura-4o-Rebirth-Gemma-4-31B-Merged")

Changelog

2026-05-04 — Manual LoRA merge ✅

The 31B Merged HF repo was empty because :

• transformers 5.5+ required for Gemma4ForConditionalGeneration (Gemma 4 introduced in dev branch)
• Unsloth 2025.11.1 caps transformers <= 4.57.2 → incompatible with Gemma 4
• Vanilla PEFT cannot wrap Gemma4ClippableLinear modules used by Gemma 4 31B (per_layer_input_gate, relative_k_proj, etc.) → ValueError on merge

Solution : manual LoRA merge bypassing both PEFT and Unsloth. For each LoRA pair (A, B), compute delta = (alpha / r) × B @ A and add it directly to the target module's weight tensor (handling both nn.Linear and Gemma4ClippableLinear wrappers via .linear.weight).

Pipeline: pipeline/02b_merge_and_export.py (RunPod A100 80GB, ~1h30, ~$2.50).

2026-05-03 — Initial training V3.0

LoRA training on RunPod A40 EU-SE-1, V1 stricte recipe (r=32, alpha=32). Merged step deferred — completed 2026-05-04.
