Qwen3-VL-8B Hebrew — v1 merged (historical)

➡️ This is a historical merged export, NOT the current flagship. The flagship is v1.9a — adapter + merge instructions at [qwen3-vl-8b-hebrew-v19a-ckpt](https://huggingface.co/isaacmg/qwen3-vl-8b-hebrew-v19a-ckpt).

Full 16-bit merge of the series' first-generation (v1) Talmud adapter — the first model in this line to read Vilna-print gemara from pixels. Vision tower unadapted (language-only LoRA generation). Superseded on every benchmark by later versions. Note: the saved config is transformers-5-style (rope under text_config.rope_parameters); MLX conversion requires patching rope_theta to top level.

\\* CER over substantive attempts only, alignment-based scorer. Benchmarks differ across generations (Talmud print vs Genizah manuscripts) — compare within a row's named benchmark, not across rows.
