Fine-tuned with SAGA (Syntax-Aware Grammar Alignment) using forced KL-regularised SFT followed by Δ-DPO. This is an ablation model — the base model's parse success (83%) already exceeds the τ=0.80 Auto-SFT threshold, so SAGA would normally skip SFT. This model forces KL-SFT to measure the effect of the extra SFT stage.

This is a LoRA adapter. Load it on top of meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B.

Ablation finding: Forcing KL-SFT when base PS ≥ 80% does not improve results. Parse success is comparable (98.0% vs 98.5%) but PPL degrades (+10.8) and ScaLA AUROC drops (0.592 vs 0.617). The no-SFT variant (emilcw/llama-3.2-1b-nb-saga-delta-dpo) is the recommended model.

Usage

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B", torch_dtype="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "emilcw/llama-3.2-1b-nb-saga-kl-sft-delta-dpo")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B")

prompt = "Norsk er"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=60, temperature=0.8, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
