| Base model | ibm-granite/granite-4.1-3b |
| Architecture | GraniteForCausalLM |
| Parameters | 3.4B |
| Training data | Salesforce/xlam-function-calling-60k |
| Method | LoRA supervised fine-tuning via Unsloth + TRL |
| License | apache-2.0 (inherited from the base model) |
Usage
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "ermiaazarkhalili/Granite-4.1-3B-Function-Calling-xLAM-Unsloth"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, dtype='auto', device_map='auto')
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain gradient checkpointing in two sentences."}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt'
).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Observed training loss
Measured from our SLURM logs for this configuration. These are training-loss observations only — no downstream benchmark evaluation has been run on this model, so they should not be read as a quality claim.
| SLURM job | Steps | First loss | Final loss |

Limitations
- No benchmark evaluation has been run on this checkpoint. The only reported numbers are training-loss observations.
- Inherits the biases, knowledge cutoff and failure modes of the base model.
- Fine-tuned on a single instruction-following dataset; behaviour outside that distribution is untested.
- LoRA adapters were merged into the base weights, so the merged model cannot be detached from this fine-tune.
Reproducing
Trained by notebooks/xlam_function_calling_granite4.1-3b_unsloth.ipynb, executed non-interactively with
papermill on a SLURM H100 partition (Unsloth + TRL, LoRA).
Card generated from the training run's own configuration and logs by
scripts/generate_hub_model_card.py.
