Development Pipeline

Continued Pretraining (CPT)

The base model google/gemma-3-12b-pt was further pretrained on domain-relevant corpora to improve its native Traditional Chinese language understanding.
This step enhanced contextual fluency, vocabulary calibration, and semantic alignment to language patterns common in Taiwan and other Traditional Chinese contexts.

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)

Following continued pretraining, the model underwent supervised fine-tuning using task-oriented instruction datasets.
This process improved:

• Response relevance and instruction adherence
• Task specificity across diverse scenarios
• Consistency in generation quality
• Safety and reliability in structured output

FP8 Precision Optimization

The final stage of the pipeline involved quantization to FP8 precision, reducing memory usage and increasing inference throughput while maintaining linguistic quality and instruction performance.
This demonstrates APMIC’s expertise in precision optimization for efficient deployment without significant loss of accuracy.
