Multilingual

Hopefully, this model can support multilingual corpora; its multilingual capabilities seem to have been compromised.

Hi @GooGooMeow , thanks for flagging this β€” multilingual regression is a real and fair concern with this kind of fine-tune. The SFT
data is English-heavy, so some forgetting of the base model's multilingual ability is possible.

Two things that would help me pin it down:

  1. Which language(s) and an example prompt where it underperforms? That lets me reproduce it properly.
  2. Which quant are you running? Lower quants (Q2/Q4) tend to hurt multilingual much more than English β€” so if you're on a small
    quant, trying Q6_K or Q8_0 may recover a lot of it. That helps separate quantization loss from an actual fine-tune regression.

Either way, I'm noting this for the next version β€” mixing in some multilingual data to preserve those capabilities is on my radar.
Really appreciate the feedback! πŸ™

I am using Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) in the Q6_K quantification level.
It will utter sentences that are barely readable (similar to a combination of Cantonese and classical Chinese),
and eventually get stuck in endless repetition.
If I have time, I will test it again and post the output.
