DiaLLM — Llama 3.1-8B — en-AU — SFT

Built with Llama.

Part of DiaLLM: An Investigation into the Robustness-Generation Gap in English Dialect Adaptation (EMNLP 2026 Main).

• —Base model: Llama 3.1-8B
• —Target variety: en-AU (Australian English)
• —Adaptation thread: explicit (variety-targeted)
• —Pipeline stage: SFT (from the CPT checkpoint)

Fine-tuned from jordanpainter/diallm-llama-cpt on the dialect-specific preference dataset for en-AU (Australian English), so the chosen completions already contain Multi-VALUE dialectal features.
