Model Card for Qemma
Qemma is a HuggingFace-native hybrid model that merges Gemma-3 (1B) and Qwen-3 (0.6B) at the weight level (no adapters). Design: Gemma MLP/body + Qwen attention/head, projected and aligned to Gemma’s hidden size. The model is then SFT-tuned for stepwise reasoning.
Quick start
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model_id = "reaperdoesntknow/Qemma-sft"
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, use_fast=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).eval()
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain finite-scale discrepancy Δ_r in one paragraph."}]
inputs = tok.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
out = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9)
print(tok.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
What’s inside
- Architecture: Gemma-3 backbone (26 layers, hidden 1152, MLP 6912) with Qwen-style attention regrouped to Gemma’s 4×256 heads.
- Tokenizer: Gemma-3 tokenizer and chat template (see
chat_template.jinja). - Training: SFT for instruction following and stepwise reasoning.
Intended use & limitations
Use: research, instruction following, code/help, analysis, further SFT/RLHF. Limits: may hallucinate; not for safety-critical, medical, legal, or financial decisions. Follow dataset/model licenses.

Discrepancy Calculus Foundation
This model is part of the Convergent Intelligence LLC: Research Division portfolio. All models in this portfolio are developed under the Discrepancy Calculus (DISC) framework — a measure-theoretic approach to understanding and controlling the gap between what a model should produce and what it actually produces.
DISC treats training singularities (loss plateaus, mode collapse, catastrophic forgetting) not as failures to be smoothed over, but as structural signals that reveal the geometry of the learning problem. Key concepts:
- Discrepancy Operator (D): Measures the gap between expected and observed behavior at each training step
- Jump Sets: Boundaries where model behavior changes discontinuously — these are features, not bugs
- Ghost Imprinting: Teacher knowledge that transfers to student models through weight-space topology rather than explicit distillation signal
