AhiskaAI-134m-Base-v0.2

AhiskaAI-134m-Base-v0.2

AhiskaAI-134m-Base-v0.2 is a 134 million parameter Small Language Model (SLM) built from scratch. It represents the second generation of the AhiskaAI organization's mission to develop efficient, high-quality, native Turkish language models.

Model Details

• Architecture: Llama-based architecture.
• Parameters: 134M.
• Context Window: 1024 tokens.
• Tokenizer: Custom BPE Tokenizer (Vocabulary Size: 32,000).
• Training Framework: PyTorch & Transformers.

Data Curation (The "Quality over Quantity" Approach)

A major leap in the v0.2 release is the transition to data-centric AI.

• Raw Data (v0.1): 5GB of raw corpus.
• Curated Data (v0.2): 1.2GB of meticulously filtered, high-quality Turkish text.
• Process: Approximately 75% of low-quality, noisy, and redundant data was eliminated to ensure the model focuses on grammatical correctness and linguistic density.

Key Improvements from v0.1

• Architecture Shift: Migrated from standard GPT-2 to a modern Llama-based architecture for superior sequence modeling.
• Normalization: Implemented RMSNorm for training stability.
• Positional Encoding: Adopted RoPE (Rotary Positional Embeddings).
• Activation: Switched to SiLU activation function.
• Precision: Trained in bfloat16 for efficiency on consumer-grade hardware.

Training Logs

The graph above demonstrates the training convergence of AhiskaAI-134m-Base-v0.2. The stable decline in loss confirms the effective alignment of the model architecture with the curated Turkish dataset.

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AhiskaAI/AhiskaAI-134m-Base-v0.2")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AhiskaAI/AhiskaAI-134m-Base-v0.2")

text = "Türkiye Cumhuriyeti"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Training Hardware

Trained on NVIDIA RTX 4050 6GB Laptop GPU.

Future Plans

Instruct Version: AhiskaAI-134m-IT-v0.2 (Fine-tuned for chat and instructions).

Preference Alignment: v0.2.1 DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) is currently under development to refine response quality.
