Saidzoda-Tajik-LFM-2.6B: Adapting a 2.6B Hybrid Model to Tajik Tool Calling, and What Continued Pretraining Takes Away
We release Saidzoda-Tajik-LFM-2.6B, a Tajik adaptation of the 2.6B-parameter hybrid model LFM2.5-2.6B-Base, built for tool calling in Tajik on modest hardware. The recipe has two stages: LoRA continued pretraining (CPT) on 1,485,319 cleaned Tajik web documents for 3 epochs, then one epoch of supervised fine-tuning (SFT...
