This model is built on top of Qwen3 14B Base adapted for Telugu using 500M target language tokens sampled from MADLAD-400. It has an additional target vocabulary of 10K.

Model Details

Vocabulary: This model has an additional target vocabulary of 10K.
Target vocabulary initialization: The target weights of the embedding and LM head were initialized using mean initialization.
Training: This model was continually pre-trained on 500M target language tokens sampled from MADLAD-400.
