| ## Model Card: Max | |
| **Model Name:** Max | |
| **Base Model:** Gemma 3 1B IT (Instruction-Tuned, 1 billion parameters from the Gemma 3 family) | |
| **Developed By:** IDX | |
| **Completion Date:** May 12, 2025 | |
| **Model Description:** | |
| Max is a language model fine-tuned from the Gemma 3 1B IT base model, specializing in code generation and comprehension, with a particular focus on the Python programming language. The model has been trained to handle code-related tasks and address technical queries, leveraging the capabilities of the state-of-the-art base model enhanced with specific knowledge acquired during the fine-tuning process on code-centric data. | |
| **Architecture:** | |
| The model is based on the architecture of the Gemma 3 1B model, developed by Google. | |
| **Fine-tuning Data:** | |
| The model was fine-tuned using curated datasets comprising: | |
| 1. Data consisting of technical questions and answers, including interactions where users describe technical challenges and others provide assistance or solutions (analogous to technical forums or Q&A platforms). | |
| 2. Examples of Python code, structured as input/output pairs. | |
| The fine-tuning process was specifically focused on data relevant to Python code generation and technical question answering. | |
| **Fine-tuning Process:** | |
| The fine-tuning procedure was conducted in a Google Colab environment utilizing a single NVIDIA A100 GPU. This process adapted the Gemma 3 1B IT base model to enhance its performance on programming-related tasks and its ability to respond to code-specific inquiries. | |
| **Intended Use Cases:** | |
| * Generation of Python code snippets or functions based on textual descriptions. | |
| * Answering questions regarding Python syntax, concepts, or common programming issues. | |
| * Assisting in the explanation of Python code blocks. | |
| * Providing support for fundamental Python programming tasks. | |
| **Limitations:** | |
| * Model performance is contingent upon the quality, diversity, and scope of the fine-tuning datasets. | |
| * Primarily optimized for the Python language; performance on other programming languages may be suboptimal. | |
| * Inherently, as a generative model, it may produce code that is incorrect, inefficient, or contains security vulnerabilities. | |
| * Potential to inherit biases or limitations present in the base Gemma 3 model or the training data. | |
| * The 1B version of Gemma 3 is text-only and not designed for multimodal input. | |
| * Not suitable for deployment in critical applications without rigorous testing and human validation of generated outputs. | |
| **Ethical Considerations:** | |
| * Potential for generating code containing security flaws if not reviewed and validated by a human expert. | |
| * Risk of propagating biases present in the training data (e.g., in coding styles, problem-solving approaches, etc.). | |
| * The use of data sourced from Q&A forums implies the inclusion of user-generated content, which may contain informal language or unverified information. | |
| * Responsible deployment and continuous human oversight of generated code and responses are strongly advised. | |
| **Evaluation:** | |
| Formal evaluation metrics regarding the performance of the fine-tuned model are not currently available. | |
