Gemma 4 E4B Albanian–English v2

Fine-tuned, released, and maintained by Kushtrim Visoka.

Kushtrim/gemma4-e4b-sq-en-v2 is a task- and language-adapted checkpoint from the Gemma 4 E4B family. The repository name describes the intended variant; the technical properties below are taken from its saved configuration.

Model details

Property	Value
Model type	Multimodal conditional generation (text, image, and audio)
Architecture	`Gemma4ForConditionalGeneration`
Intended language(s)	sq, en
Saved precision	FP32
Context or generation limit	131,072 tokens (configuration maximum)

Intended use

Research and evaluation in the languages and task indicated by the repository name.
Comparison with the upstream model family.
Further task- or domain-specific adaptation where the applicable license permits.

Evaluation and limitations

A standardized benchmark suite is not documented in this model card yet.
Evaluate the checkpoint on representative held-out data before deployment.
Fine-tuning can preserve or amplify limitations and biases from the upstream model and training data.
Generated text or transcripts may be inaccurate. Human review is required for consequential use.
The configured maximum context does not guarantee reliable quality at every sequence length.

Development and attribution

Original architecture and base-model family: Google DeepMind Gemma Team
Albanian–English adaptation, fine-tuning, checkpoint packaging, release, and repository maintenance: Kushtrim Visoka
Model card: Kushtrim Visoka
