Training session

Finetune on mesolitica/Malaysian-SFT to make the model understand Malaysian context.

How we train

1. LoRA on ["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj", "gate_proj", "up_proj", "down_proj", "embed_tokens", "lm_head"].
2. 128 Rank with alpha 256, or alpha of 2.0
3. Multipacking 8192 context length with proper SDPA causal masking to prevent document contamination and also make sure proper position ids.
4. Chunk CCE loss for LoRA.
5. WanDB at https://wandb.ai/huseinzol05/lora-embedding-128-gemma3-1b-malaysian-8k?nw=nwuserhuseinzol05
