+# qwen3-8b-tablegpt
+
+Replication of [**TableGPT**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.09263), trained from [**Qwen3-8B**](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B) on the corresponding instruction-tuning corpus.
+
+Released alongside the EACL 2026 Findings paper *"What Really Matters for Table LLMs? A Meta-Evaluation of Model and Data Effects"* (Deng et al., 2026) as an additional artefact extending the paper's experiments — the main 3 base × 4 training-data grid in the paper covers Mistral-v0.3, OLMo, and Phi-3-small at the 7B scale; this model adds another base-model variant trained on the same corpus.

+## Training
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Base model | [`Qwen/Qwen3-8B`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-8B) |
+| Training corpus | `tablegpt_large_train.json` from [`dnaihao/Table-Instructs`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/dnaihao/Table-Instructs) |
+| Method | Full SFT via [LLaMA-Factory](https://github.com/hiyouga/LLaMA-Factory) |
+| Learning rate | 5e-7 |
+
+Full hyperparameter sweep, ablations, and per-benchmark numbers are reported in the paper.
+
+## Evaluation
+
+This model was not part of the per-benchmark evaluation reported in the paper; it is released as an additional artefact for the community. See [github.com/dnaihao/table-sft-eacl-2026](https://github.com/dnaihao/table-sft-eacl-2026) for the eval setup we used on the paper's main models — the same scripts can be adapted for this checkpoint.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dnaihao/qwen3-8b-tablegpt")
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    "dnaihao/qwen3-8b-tablegpt",
+    torch_dtype="auto",
+    device_map="auto",
+)
+```
+
+## License
