Gemma 4 E4B — E-Tafakna: Tunisian Legal Assistant (GGUF)

A fine-tuned Gemma 4 E4B model specialized in Tunisian law, built for the E-Tafakna platform.

The model is designed primarily for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) legal assistants and answers legal questions in French based on Tunisian legal codes and legislation.

⚠️ This model provides legal information only — it does not constitute professional legal advice.

⚠️ This model is not intended to replace legal professionals and should not be used without a retrieval pipeline in production legal systems.

Recommended Usage with RAG

This model is designed to work best as part of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline rather than as a standalone legal model.

Because Tunisian law requires precise article references, contextual interpretation, and up-to-date legal sources, the model relies on retrieved legal documents to generate accurate and grounded answers.

Without retrieval, the model may:

• hallucinate legal references,
• omit important legal context,
• provide incomplete answers,
• or answer outside the scope of Tunisian legislation.

For optimal performance, use the model with:

• a vector database (such as Qdrant),
• dense and/or sparse embeddings,
• document chunking and reranking,
• and legal source attribution.

The intended workflow is:

User Question
    ↓
Legal Document Retrieval (RAG)
    ↓
Relevant Tunisian Legal Articles
    ↓
Gemma 4 E4B — E-Tafakna
    ↓
Grounded Legal Response with Citations

The model was specifically fine-tuned on examples where:

• relevant legal excerpts were provided in the prompt,
• answers were grounded in retrieved documents,
• and legal article citations were expected in every response.

⚠️ The quality of the response depends heavily on the quality of the retrieved legal context.

How to Run

Ollama (easiest)

ollama run hf.co/L0uu/gemma4-e4b-etafakna-gguf:Q4_K_M

With a custom system prompt

Create a file called Modelfile:

FROM hf.co/L0uu/gemma4-e4b-etafakna-gguf:Q4_K_M

SYSTEM """

Example Usage

User:

Quelles sont les conditions pour qu'un contrat soit valable en droit tunisien?

Documents pertinents:

[1] Source: Article 2 du Code des obligations et des contrats

Les éléments nécessaires pour la validité des obligations qui dérivent d'une déclaration de volonté sont: la capacité de s'obliger, une déclaration valable de volonté portant sur les éléments essentiels de l'obligation, un objet certain pouvant former objet d'obligation, une cause licite de s'obliger.

Model:

The model will provide a structured response citing Article 2 of the Code des obligations et des contrats, breaking down the four conditions:

• capacity,
• valid declaration of will,
• certain object,
• and lawful cause.

Training Details

---

Dataset

The training data consists of 1,619 cleaned Q&A examples covering Tunisian legal topics in French.

Each example follows a multi-turn chat format with:

• a system prompt,
• a user question accompanied by relevant legal document excerpts,
• and a model response structured by legal issue with article citations.

GGUF Export Pipeline

1. LoRA adapter merged with base model into fp16 using Unsloth save_pretrained_merged
2. Converted to GGUF F16 using llama.cpp/convert_hf_to_gguf.py
3. Quantized from F16 → Q4_K_M using llama-quantize

---

Known Conversion Notes

• RoPE type: The converter reported Unknown RoPE type: proportional and defaulted to NONE. This is expected for Gemma 4's architecture and should not impact inference in recent llama.cpp versions.

• Duplicated GGUF keys: Warnings about overwritten keys (context_length, head_count, key_length, etc.) are normal. Gemma 4 uses heterogeneous layer configurations where some layers have different attention dimensions.
