Endigest AI Core Summary
This post demonstrates finetuning FunctionGemma with Tunix, a JAX-based LLM post-training library, on Google TPUs.
- •Tunix supports SFT, PEFT, preference tuning, RL, and distillation for Gemma, Qwen, and LLaMA models
- •LoRA is applied via Qwix to attention layers, running on free-tier Colab TPU v5e-1
- •Completion-only loss is handled via a custom dataset class using the Mobile Action dataset
- •One epoch of training yields a significant accuracy boost with high TPU utilization
- •The merged LoRA model is exported as safetensors for on-device deployment via LiteRT
