Acknowledgments and provenance
- Base model: Google Gemma 4 31B Instruct,
pinned to revision
842da3794eaa0b77d5f08bae87a17459d91ff475 (Apache 2.0).
- Training dataset: AddisAI — FineTome single-turn deduplicated Amharic,
pinned to revision
fac04d882e094728d684275f296518a88e5cd4bd (dataset card lists Apache 2.0).
- Dataset creation credit: AddisAI; Amharic examples are machine-translated using
AddisAI's Aleph (፩) model from primarily English instruction sources.
- The model was trained on a separately filtered and deduplicated subset, not the full
AddisAI dataset. No original data or held-out questions are redistributed here.

These validation scores refer to the held-out portion of the locally filtered translated
FineTome dataset. They do not establish general Amharic quality or superiority to the
base model; independent evaluations have not yet been reported.
Limitations
- Machine translation quality and Amharic linguistic naturalness have not been fully
verified by native speakers.
- String-similarity and numeric-template checks were applied to the local dataset;
semantic and cross-language leakage were not fully ruled out.
- Long examples over 1,024 tokens were excluded.
- The adapter targets language-model layers; multimodal improvements are not claimed.
- A capable GPU and the separately obtained Gemma 4 31B IT base model are needed to use it.
