gemma-3-4b-it-rus-32768

This model is a 13.66% smaller version of google/gemma-3-4b-it optimized for Russian language via vocabulary size reduction using the trimming method. This trimmed model should perform similarly to the original model with only 32,768 tokens and a much smaller memory footprint. However, it may not perform well for other languages as tokens not commonly used in the selected languages were removed from the vocabulary.

Model Statistics

Usage

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "alphaedge-ai/gemma-3-4b-it-rus-32768"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)

prompt = "Your prompt in Russian."
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(**model_inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
output_ids = generated_ids[0][len(model_inputs.input_ids[0]):]
response = tokenizer.decode(output_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
