Qwen3-4B model fine-tuned for Karachay-Balkar language

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A team has successfully fine-tuned the Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 large language model to communicate in the Karachay-Balkar language. This involved developing a custom morphological processor for dialect augmentation, training a tokenizer from scratch, and balancing the model's training on raw data to retain instruction-following capabilities. The resulting model, named QM-4B, is available on HuggingFace and was presented at the TurkLang 2026 conference. AI

IMPACT Enables AI capabilities for low-resource languages, potentially preserving linguistic diversity.
