Supported Functionality
f8de16cdcdbc6c779ca517604e050d82cc119e44.Use Transformers supporting GraniteForCausalLM / granite.
The producing environment used Transformers 5.17.0, PyTorch 2.14.0, and PEFT 0.21.0.
No custom model code or remote-code trust is required. Tokenizer, generation
configuration and chat template are included.
The smaller Q4_K_M GGUF is separate.
Render prompts using the included chat template with add_generation_prompt=True
and enable_thinking=False to match training. The same saved template is embedded
in the GGUF. Its SHA-256 is
4231f7ddfef1b88340640143c3a7dbbcf9e4880e920bf28f81a0c44731efeda4.
The model configuration retains the base model's 131,072-token context limit. The 2,048-token training length does not reduce that architectural limit, but long-context quality has not been evaluated for this fine-tune. The included Ollama Modelfile defaults to a 2,048-token runtime context; a larger runtime setting requires sufficient memory and separate quality checks.
The Q4_K_M file passed a real llama.cpp load and generation smoke test and answered the synthetic arithmetic prompt "What is 2 + 2?" correctly. Six synthetic tokenizer parity probes matched the admitted Hugging Face tokenizer and llama.cpp token IDs, including Unicode, code, tool markup and a rendered chat prompt. These checks are not an ICDU generalization benchmark or a measure of quantization quality loss. No held-out DPO evaluation or sealed test-set evaluation was performed. Tool schemas and execution must be supplied by the hosting application. Quantization and application chat-template handling may change outputs.
SHA256SUMS records packaged file hashes; provenance.json records portable lineage.
Datasets, training examples, trainer checkpoints, credentials and local filesystem
paths are excluded. The base model declares Apache-2.0 in its pinned model card.
The standard Apache-2.0 license text is included; the base repository has no separate
LICENSE file at the pinned revision.
