gemma4-e4b-colloquial-ru-merged

English: Full-weight Gemma 4 E4B checkpoint with colloquial Russian LoRA merged in for vLLM / RunPod Serverless. No PEFT at inference time.

What this model does

Rewrites formal Russian into casual chat-style Russian (Telegram-like), without profanity, while keeping facts, names, numbers, and paragraph structure.

Not a general chat model — use the instruction prefix from training (see below).

Model lineage

Stage	Artifact
Base	google/gemma-4-E4B-it
LoRA (SFT)	pavelfedortsov/gemma4-e4b-lora-colloquial-ru
This repo	LoRA merged into base + vLLM fixes (`k_norm`, processor configs)

Merge was done with peft.merge_and_unload(); missing language_model k_norm weights for layers 24–41 were copied from the base checkpoint (required for vLLM).

Training data

50,000 SFT pairs, mat-free colloquial style
Hub dataset: pavelfedortsov/russian-colloquial-sft-50k
Built from kurumikz/telegram-corpus-russian-kazakh + Gemini pair generation (see dataset card)

User prompt template (training & inference):

Перепиши простым разговорным русским, как в переписке. Без мата и грубости. Сохрани смысл:
<формальный текст>

Training configuration (LoRA → merge)

Config file (also in card_assets/train_colloquial_e4b_gpu.yaml):

Parameter	Value
Base model	`google/gemma-4-E4B-it`
Method	LoRA on language tower (`model.language_model.*`)
LoRA rank / alpha	32 / 64
Target modules	`q,k,v,o` + MLP (`gate, up, down`)
Dataset	50k × 1 repeat
Epochs	2 (12,500 optimizer steps)
Seq length	512
Batch	1 × grad accum 8 (effective 8)
LR	1e-4, cosine, warmup 3%
Precision	bf16, gradient checkpointing
Loss	assistant-only
Hardware	RunPod A100 80GB

Training metrics (LoRA run)

Metric	Start (step ~25)	End (step 12,500)	Best
`loss`	~3.42	~0.81	~0.67
`mean_token_accuracy`	~0.63	~0.82	~0.84

Checkpoints saved every 1000 steps under the LoRA adapter repo.

Limitations

Gemma license applies to the base architecture and weights.
Quality varies on long news-style text; model may shorten or paraphrase aggressively.
Not safety-tuned for production without your own evaluation.
Merged vs LoRA inference can differ slightly in style.
